The ultimate story of success: When a nobody, who has never once in his entire life known the feeling of being remembered or respected, suddenly snaps and becomes a world dictator. On one hand it sounds just, but on the other, it illustrates the reason why a prosperity message has and needs its limitations.

If you're capable of despising your own behavior, you might just love yourself.

I do not care about happiness simply because I believe that joy is something worth fighting for.

It often occurs that pride and selfishness are muddled with strength and independence. They are neither equal nor similar; in fact, they are polar opposites. A coward may be so cowardly that he masks his weakness with some false personification of power. He is afraid to love and to be loved because love tends to strip bare all emotional barricades. Without love, strength and independence are prone to losing every bit of their worth; they become nothing more than a fearful, intimidated, empty tent lost somewhere in the desert of self.

I believe in evolution in the sense that a short-tempered man is the successor of a crybaby.

I'm often painted as the bad guy, and the artistic part of me wants to hand out the brush.

The biggest challenge after success is shutting up about it.
