Summary

This quote suggests that individuals who are considered "losers" tend to dwell on the past or worry excessively about the future instead of living in the present moment. By doing so, they miss out on the opportunities and experiences available to them in the present. This mindset can contribute to a negative spiral where their current circumstances and future outlook become further compromised. Therefore, the quote serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of embracing the present and actively engaging with it rather than being consumed by regret or anticipation.

It becomes simply magnificent.

I became a larger than life figure for one reason only. When you're quoted in the 'Wall Street Journal,' the 'New York Times,' constantly as the expert in the business people assume you're a lot bigger than you are. And then I had to run like hell to catch up with my own image.

But what is Hope? Nothing but the paint on the face of Existence; the least touch of truth rubs it off, and then we see what a hollow-cheeked harlot we have got hold of.

My argument is simple, which is, that for several thousand years in Western civilization, marriage has been the union of one man and one woman. Research is overwhelming that children need mothers and fathers.
