Quotes

  • The pressure of adversity is the most powerful sustainer of accountability. It's as though everything you do is multiplied by 50 in order to induce forward motion. - Rich Fettke
  • One of the things that makes Hamlet unique among Shakespeare's characters is his courage to face up to the darker elements of his personality. Unlike Juliet, who is tragically innocent, or Othello, who is tragically deceived, Hamlet knows the score; he is every bit as wicked as Claudius. He just knows how to induce guilt and how to manipulate people. - David Hewson
  • The most fruitful and natural exercise for our minds is, in my opinion, conversation. I find the practice of it the most delightful activity in the world, and one that is the most suitable to my genius. - Michel de Montaigne
