I'm not a money manager, but I can tell you what the conventional wisdom is. The younger you are, the more risk you can take on.

Since we cannot change reality, let us change the eyes which see reality, says one of my favorite Byzantine mystics. I did this when a child; I do it now as well in the most creative moments of my life.

Nikos Kazantzakis

Cajun is country food by farmers and fisherman that arrived in Louisiana from Acadiana, Canada.

Paul Prudhomme

It is your work in life that is your ultimate seduction.

Pablo Picasso

Travel books are, by and large, boring. They lodge uncomfortably between fact, fiction and autobiography.

Arthur Smith

Until the Eighties, Oslo was a rather boring town, but it's changed a lot, and is now much more cosmopolitan. If I go downtown, I visit the harbour to see the tall ships and the ferries, and to admire the modern architecture such as the Opera House or the new Astrup Fearnley Museum on the water's edge.

Jo Nesbo

I like work; it fascinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours. I love to keep it by me; the idea of getting rid of it nearly breaks my heart.

Jerome K. Jerome

Pay bad people with you goodness; fight their hatred with you kindness. Even if you do not achieve victory over other people, you will conquer yourself.

Leo Tolstoy

Laughter is a highly addictive positive contagious: if somebody starts, it's very difficult to stop.

Robert Holden

Monarchies, aristocracies, and religions are all based upon that large defect in your race -- the individual's distrust of his neighbor, and his desire, for safety's or comfort's sake, to stand well in his neighbor's eye. These institutions will always remain, and always flourish, and always oppress you, affront you, and degrade you, because you will always be and remain slaves of minorities. There was never a country where the majority of the people were in their secret hearts loyal to any of these institutions.

Mark Twain

Luckless is the country in which the symbols of procreation are the objects of shame, while the agents of destruction are honored! And yet you call that member your pudendum, or shameful part, as if there were anything more glorious than creating life, or anything more atrocious than taking it away.

Savinien Cyrano De Bergerac

If you would have me weep, you must first of all feel grief yourself.

Horace

It's nice to be a part of history but people should get it right. I may not be perfect, but I'm bloody close.

John Lydon Rotten
