Writers' quotes from noted philosopher
“I really had a lot of dreams when I was a kid, and I think a great deal of that grew out of the fact that I had a chance to read a lot.”
“Life is not fair; get used to it.”
“We always overestimate the change that will occur in the next two years and underestimate the change that will occur in the next ten. Don't let yourself be lulled into inaction.”
“Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can't lose.”
“Its fine to celebrate success but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure.”
“If you think your teacher is tough, wait until you get a boss. He doesn't have tenure.”
all by Bill Gates, Evil Emperor, Rtd.

I was on a Mac in those days. Regardless, those are pretty decent quotes, if not a little obvious.

I like the quote by a well known poet who said, "I became insane with long intervails of horrible sanity." Lol. (He didn't laugh--that came from me).
