Even if one understands that what one is doing is mad, it is indeed still madness -

When I was a teenager there was no video in my country. Betamax came to Mexico very slowly.

You only find yourself when you disobey. Disobedience is the beginning of responsibility, I think.

The butterfly does not look back upon its caterpillar self, either fondly or wistfully; it simply flies on.

If you're not operating on an instinctive level, you're not an artist.... Reason over emotion is bullshit, absolute bullshit... We suffocate ourselves in rules. I find fantasy liberating.

I am aware that no man is a villain in his own eyes.

War don't ennoble men, it turns 'em into dogs. It poisons the soul.

Men should not care too much for good looks; neglect is becoming.

Love transforms one into what one loves.

To me, strategy means trying to overcome your limitations and your weak points. To do that, I try to enhance and leverage my strong points.
