Relevant quotations
As a follow-up to “The Quantum of Solace,” my last entry (which, consequently, is also the title of a James Bond short story), here are some relevant quotations.
“This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes.” – Morpheus, The Matrix
“Every person who wins in any undertaking must be willing to burn his ships and cut all sources of retreat. Only by doing so can one be sure of maintaining that state of mind known as a burning desire to win, essential to success.” – I can’t remember.

Cool series of posts man. Love the ship burning quote especially, quite applicable to entrepreneurship I think.

Dude, glad to have some new stuff up. Your Quantum of Solace post is hitting me pretty hard right now, I’m thinking I’m going to have to read it again later in the weekend and let some of it sink in.

I believe the second quote is by Napolean Hill in his “Think and Grow Rich” book.

If you are looking at the white-faced paperback version with green and yellow print, look on the bottom of page 16 and follow to the top of page 17. I just turned thirty and first read this fact-based book at age 18. So i ask, how would one have faith and what is faith?
