Ronald Reagan:

The future doesn't belong to the fainthearted; it belongs to the brave.

Arthur O’Shaughnessy:

For each age is a dream that is dying,
Or one that is coming to birth.

Nietzsche:

A very popular error: having the courage of one's convictions; rather it is a matter of having the courage for an attack on one's convictions!

Richard Hofstadter:

A fundamental paradox of the paranoid style is the imitation of the enemy.

Ken McLeod:

The illusion of choice is an indication of a lack of freedom.

Frank Chimero:

Everything was made, and if we want, we can remake it how we see fit. We only need to want it. And then we have to build it.

Merlin Mann:

Just keep moving: don't ruminate and stare at the wall. Don't just play with your phone: go out and produce something.

Semil Shah:

Too often, people taking risks which they perceive to be big aren't really that big, when you step back and think about it. Real risk is about falling down in a way where it's hard to get back up. We should not be fooled by how hard this all is in a day when the word is just thrown around. It is about exploring, about going somewhere (and in some fashion) only a few will know, with no guarantee of a return ticket.

Sanford Schwartz:

If Julian Schnabel is a surfer in the sense of knowing how to skim existence for its wonders, he is also a surfer in the more challenging sense of wanting to see where something bigger than himself, or the unknown, will take him, even with the knowledge that he might not come back from the trip.
