Nobody explains meditation like Seinfeld. "It's like you have a cell phone and then somebody gives you the charger. Oh, I can get this thing up to a hundred anytime I want?! "It doesn't feel like anything. Doesn't do anything. I don't get it. I don't understand it. But here's the difference: at 1pm that day, my head does not hit the desk like it used to. ... I sail through the day."

Jim Simons's five principles (RIP): “Be guided by beauty. Just as a great theorem can be very beautiful, a company that’s really working very well, very efficiently, that can be beautiful. Surround yourself with the smartest and best people you possibly can. Let them do their thing. Don’t sit on top of them. If they’re smarter than you, all the better. Do something original. Don’t run with the pack. If everyone is trying to solve the same problem ... don’t do that. Don’t give up easily. Stick with it. Stick with it not forever, but really give it a chance to get where you’re going. The final principle is hope for good luck. That’s the most important principle"

Jim Simons: "My algorithm has always been: you get smart people together and you give them a lot of freedom. Create an atmosphere where everyone talks to everyone else. Provide the best infrastructure. And make everyone partners. That was the model that we used in Renaissance."

'Fuck you money' explained in the movie The Gambler. Jim Bennett: I've been up two and a half million dollars. Frank: What you got on you? Jim Bennett : Nothing. Frank: What you put away? Jim Bennett: Nothing. Frank: You get up two and a half million dollars, any asshole in the world knows what to do: you get a house with a 25-year roof, an indestructible Jap-economy shitbox, you put the rest into the system at three to five percent to pay your taxes and that's your base, get me? That's your fortress of fucking solitude. That puts you, for the rest of your life, at a level of fuck you. Somebody wants you to do something, fuck you. Boss pisses you off, fuck you! Own your house. Have a couple bucks in the bank. Don't drink. That's all I have to say to anybody on any social level. Did your grandfather take risks? Jim Bennett: Yes. Frank : I guarantee he did it from a position of fuck you. A wise man's life is based around fuck you. The United States of America is based on fuck you. You're a king? You have an army? Greatest navy in the history of the world? Fuck you! Blow me. We'll fuck it up ourselves.

"Its just money; it's made up. Pieces of paper with pictures on it so we don't have to kill each other just to get something to eat. It's not wrong. And it's certainly no different today than its ever been. 1637, 1797, 1819, 37, 57, 84, 1901, 07, 29, 1937, 1974, 1987 -Jesus, didn't that fuck me up good- 92, 97, 2000 and whatever we want to call this. It's all just the same thing over and over; we can't help ourselves. And you and I can't control it, or stop it, or even slow it. Or even ever-so-slightly alter it. We just react. And we make a lot money if we get it right. And we get left by the side of the side of the road if we get it wrong. And there have always been and there always will be the same percentage of winners and losers, happy fucks and sad sacks, fat cats and starving dogs, in this world. Yeah, there may be more of us today than there's ever been. But the percentages-they stay exactly the same."

David Foster Wallace: "I have intelligent friends, who don't like to read. They get - it's not just bored - there's an almost dread that comes up about having to be alone and having to be quiet. It seems significant that we don't want things to be quiet ever anymore."

Buffett: "We will never be dependent on the kindness of strangers. We spent too long building Berkshire to have one moment destroy us." "Credit is a lot like oxygen. You don’t notice it 99% of the time. But if it’s absent, it’s the only thing you notice."

Buffett: "When markets are in distress. ... few people have the capital, and a lot fewer have the willingness to commit. The ability to say 'yes' quickly with large sums sets you apart from virtually anybody in the investing universe."

Steve Jobs: The doers are the major thinkers. "It's easy to take credit for the thinking. Oh I thought of this three years ago. But when you dig deeper, you find that the people that really did it were also the people that worked through the hard intellectual problems."

Jerry Seinfeld talking to a young comedian struggling to make it. Comedian: "How much longer can I take it?" Seinfeld: "You got something else you'd rather have been doing? You got other appointments?" "Did you ever stop and compare your life … my friends are all married, they're having kids. They all have houses…" "This has nothing to do with your friends. This is a special thing." Then Seinfeld tells him a story, his "favorite story about show business." But it's not a comforting story. It's a story about what it means to be a performing artist.

Buffett during the LTCM crisis. "We were getting calls on Sunday from people that had portfolios that were in trouble. Any calls you get on Sunday you’re probably going to make money on. All you have to do is make sure that you’re the callee and not the caller."

"The idea that life is a series of adversities and each one is an opportunity to behave well instead of badly is a very, very, good idea."
