Quotes

Then I grasped the meaning of the greatest secret that human poetry and human thought and belief have to impart: The salvation of man is through love and in love. I understood how a man who has nothing left in this world still may know bliss, be it only for a brief moment, in the contemplation of his beloved.

Viktor Frankel, Man’s Search for Meaning

There's nothing better than being the underdog. The more people count me out, the more I count myself in. I don’t like to show all my cards too early, and that gives me two distinct advantages: my opponents often get the wrong read on me, and I push myself longer and harder. When it looks like you should pack it in but you still dig in anyway, you also pick up a lot of support."

T. Boone Pickens
