• I'm an optimist.
  I've always believed the future is going to be better than the past.
  And I also believe I have a role in that.
  The great thing about human beings, myself in particular, is that I can change.
  I can do better.
  If you can get up every day, stay optimistic, and believe the future is better than the past, those few things get you through a lot of tough times.

• We must drop the idea that change comes slowly. It does ordinarily - in part because we think it does. Today changes must come fast; and we must adjust our mental habits, so that we can accept comfortably the idea of stopping one thing and beginning another overnight. We must discard the idea that past routine, past ways of doing things, are probably the best ways. On the contrary, we must assume that there is probably a better way to do almost everything. We must stop assuming that a thing which has never been done before probably cannot be done at all.

  Donald M. Nelson

Angel dust, he'd told her, was normally rich and exquisite, but not sexual. Elena had only ever tasted Raphael's blend, and it was always oh-so-sexual-today, it also held a dangerous bite.
