Robert G. Ingersoll

Nassim Nicholas Taleb
I do not believe in recovery. The past with its pleasures, its rewards, its foolishness, its punishments, is there for each of us forever, and it should be.
Lillian Hellman
Punishments and rewards are two sides of the same coin and that coin doesn't buy you much.
