Irony: Do not let yourself be governed by it, especially not in unproductive moments. In productive ones try to make use of it as one more means of seizing life.
Rainer Maria Rilke

Maurice Davis

Michael Lewis

Paul A. Baran
Kipps was unprepared for the unpleasant truth; that the path of social advancement is and must be strewn with broken friendships.
H. G. (Herbert George) Wells
