“There's no substitute for will. Sometimes you have to fake will when you don't feel it at all.”

“Sometimes you have to go on when you don't feel like it, and sometimes you're doing good work when it feels like all you're managing is to shovel shit from a sitting position.”

“Sometimes there's nothing you can do. [...] Sometimes they don't have enough to fight with.”

“Rather than admitting you don't know what to do next, you fake it in public and feel lost when you're alone.”

“If love of money is the root of all evil, then having money is the root of all boredom. When you can have everything, you find there's nothing you really want. When you can do anything, you find there's nothing you really care to do. You become lazy. Life feels like a boulder you don't want to lift.”

“It's easier to fake it. When you fake it for sixteen years, it becomes part of you, something you don't think about.”
