Quotients:

"Optimists these days learn English, pessimists learn Chinese, but realists learn how to operate an AK-47." .

“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” .

“The only thing we learn from history is that we learn nothing from history.” - Friedrich Hegel quotes (German Philosopher (1770-1831)"

“The Fed has had very few periods of relatively good performance. For most of its history, it’s been a loose cannon on the deck, and not a source of stability.” - Milton Friedman (1999) .

"You'll pass out before you die." .

"Everybody knows that if I’m at 100 percent they have to fasten their seatbelts, like on an aeroplane." .

"To race bicycles is to drink greedily from a bottomless chalice of agony." .

Say what you will about Steve Jobs, but, it used to be way, WAY harder to buy a Norwegian Black Metal album with your phone at 9:15 on a Thursday night .
