"Too Big to Fail:  The Inside Story of How Wall Street and Washington Fought to Save the Financial System - and Themselves"

"I spent my entire academic career studying the Great Depression. The depression may have started because of a stock market crash, but what hit the general economy was a disruption of credit. Average citizens unable to borrow money, to do anything. To buy a home, start a business, stock their shelves. Credit has the ability to build a modern economy, but lack of credit has the ability to destroy it, swiftly and absolutely. If we do not act, boldly and immediately, we will replay the depression of the 1930s, only this time it will be far, far worse. We don't do this now, we won't have an economy on Monday."

"I don't really understand why there needs to be so much tension about this. The country is facing the worst economy since the Great Depression. If the financial system collapses, it will take every one of you down."

"There are three ways to make a living in this business: be first, be smarter, or cheat."
"So you think we might have put a few people out of business today. That its all for naught. You've been doing that everyday for almost forty years Sam. And if this is all for naught then so is everything out there. Its just money; its 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 up 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 foxes 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. "

Book : Life Is Elsewhere

Milan Kundera ( Apr 1, 1929 - )

"권투선수가 나비를 사랑하듯,
가수가 침묵을 사랑하듯,
악한이 마을처녀를 사랑하듯,
백정이 송아지의 겁먹은 눈을 사랑하듯,
번갯불이 조용한 전원의 지붕을 사랑하듯,
그렇게 당신을 사랑하는 거야"

"그렇지만 모든 인간들은 그들의 생이 아닌 다른 생들을 살아볼 수 없기 때문에 후회한다. 그대 또한 그대가 실현해보지 못한 모든 잠재성들을, 그대의 모든 가능한 삶들을 다 살아보고 싶은 것이다. 우리들의 이야기는 그대와 마찬가지이다. 이 이야기도 역시 그것이 될 수도 있덨던, 다른 모든 소설이 되기를 갈망한다."

You Were Meant For Me

Life was a song,
You came along
I've laid awake the whole night through
If I ever dared to think you'd care
This is what I'd say to you

You were meant for me
And I was meant for you
Nature patterned you
And when she was done
You were all the sweet things
Rolled up in one

You're like a plaintive melody
That never lets me free
But I'm content
The angels must have sent you
And they meant you just for me...

But I'm content
The angels must have sent you
And they meant you just for me...
