John Keats
“it struck me what quality went to form a Man of Achievement, especially in Literature, and which Shakespeare possessed so enormously - I mean Negative Capability, that is, when a man is capable of being in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact and reason.”
John Keats

Eliot Brown
“Matt Levine, a Bloomberg columnist who writes a detailed and witty daily email dissected by Wall Street bankers, had been on vacation when the prospectus went live. The following Monday morning, he wrote in his email that the “We” trademark news was “the news item that caused me to absolutely lose my mind—the item that, if I were a slightly more dedicated financial columnist, would have had me on the next helicopter back to the office.”
Eliot Brown, The Cult of We: WeWork, Adam Neumann, and the Great Startup Delusion

“A friendship founded on business is better than a business founded on friendship.”
Daniel Yergin, The Prize: The Epic Quest for Oil, Money, and Power

Richard P. Feynman
“I would rather have questions that can't be answered than answers that can't be questioned.”
Richard Feynman

James Clear
“Placing a high value on salt, sugar, and fat is no longer advantageous to our health, but the craving persists because the brain’s reward centers have not changed for approximately fifty thousand years.”
James Clear, Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones
