"For instance, members of the elite will never allow their children to become musicians normally, because it's - not embarrassing - but it's not done. There's a very famous composer from the '70s from a well-known family that disowned him, and he's a man, so there's this historical precedence with their relationships with musicians - not so much music as it's this abstract thing - but externally with artists."

“God is the Absolute Idea, a circle that returns upon itself, not a straight line projected indefinitely.”

“In twenty years, the Lottery has raised over $1.4 billion. It has been run successfully and efficiently.”
“You don't need anyone's approval and in fact, you probably won't get it, so don't even try. Build, release and iterate. Make a list of the features you want to create over the next six months and get going! For small companies, once a week; for larger companies, maybe twice a month.”
“BIGBANG is the band that i myself am a big fan of”
“A university is not a service station. Neither is it a political society, nor a meeting place for political societies. With all its limitations and failures, and they are invariably many, it is the best and most benign side of our society insofar as that society aims to cherish the human mind.”
“A cardinal rule of bureaucracy is that it is better to extend an error than to admit a mistake.”
“Society has put up so many boundaries, so many limitations on whatâ€™s right and wrong that itâ€™s almost impossible to get a pure thought out. Itâ€™s like a little kid, a little boy, looking at colors, and no one told him what colors are good, before somebody tells you you shouldnâ€™t like pink because thatâ€™s for girls, or youâ€™d instantly become a gay two-year-old. Why would anyone pick blue over pink? Pink is obviously a better color. Everyoneâ€™s born confident, and everythingâ€™s taken away from you”
“Consumerism is, quite precisely, the consuming of life by the things consumed. It is living in a manner that is measured by having rather than being... and consumerism is hardly the sin of the rich. The poor, driven by discontent and envy, may be as consumed by what they do not have as the rich are consumed by what they do have. The question is not, certainly not most importantly, a question about economics. It is first and foremost a cultural and moral problem requiring a cultural and moral remedy.”
