Albert Einstein
“I am thankful for all of those who said NO to me. It's because of them I'm doing it myself.”
Albert Einstein

“You should take the approach that you’re wrong. Your goal is to be less wrong.”
Elon Musk

Graham Moore
“His genius was not in inventing; rather, it was in inventing a system of invention.”
Graham Moore, The Last Days of Night

Malcolm Gladwell
“Grazer and Cohn - two outsiders with learning disabilities-played a trick. They bluffed their way into professions that would have been closed to them. The man in the cab assumed that no one would be so audacious as to say he knew how to trade options if he didn't. And it never occurred to the people Brian Grazer called that when he said he was Brian Grazer from Warner Brothers, what he meant was that he was Brian Grazer who pushed the mail cart around at Warner Brothers. What they did is not "right," just as it is not "right" to send children against police dogs. But we need to remember that our definition of what right is, often as not, simply the way that people in positions of privilege close the door on those on the outside. David has nothing to lose, and because he has nothing to lose, he has the freedom to thumb his nose at the rules set by others. That's how people with brains a little bit different from the rest of ours get jobs as options traders and Hollywood producers-and a small band of protesters armed with nothing but their wits have a chance against the likes of Bull Connor”
Malcolm Gladwell, David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art of Battling Giants

“You pay the same price for doing something halfway as for doing it completely. So you might as well do it completely.”
Richard Nixon, quoted by Henry Kissinger in 'World Order'
