John’s Quotes

“Decide what you like to do, and then figure out how to get someone to pay you to do it.”
― Jonathan Steffensen Cannon

“Political correctness is not a form of sophistication as people claim or imagine, it is a form of cowardice, the lowest form of human communication. I prefer to hear frogs croak than read fake literature that tries so hard not to offend. At the same time, there is something fake about political incorrectness too. Some people try too hard to offend, it seems.”
― Manu Joseph

― Daniel James Brown, The Boys in the Boat: Nine Americans and Their Epic Quest for Gold at the 1936 Berlin Olympics
