“Part of being open to learning is taking risks!”

“Keep in mind that when we limit our exposure to information, or when information itself is scarce, our picture of reality suffers. We become oblivious to both opportunities and hazards. Trends become invisible. History disappears. It's really just two sides of the same coin: the first commitment is as much a commitment to gathering information, from as many sources and in as much volume as can constructively be used, as it is a commitment to facing the facts.”

“the biggest risk is to take no risk. or to take crazy risks.”

“If death is no longer a fear, we're really free. Free to take any risk under the sun for Christ and for love.”

“One must be just a little crazy to write a great novel. One must be capable of allowing the darkest, most ancient and shrewd parts of one’s being to take over the work from time to time.”

“Wealth is a monster. It takes a month to learn to control it financially. And many years to learn to control it psychologically.”
