"Books are empathy machines. They allow us to step into someone else's shoes and see the world through their eyes."

The best performances come from a place of honesty and vulnerability.

There is only one boss. The customer. And he can fire everybody in the company from the chairman on down, simply by spending his money somewhere else.

Character is destiny.

Every man's own satisfaction is the centre of all that he looks at.

生命从来不曾离开过孤独而独立存在。无论是我们出生、我们成长、我们相爱还是我们成功和失败，直到最后的最后，孤独犹如影子一样存在于生命一隅。

The stories we tell ourselves shape who we become.
