"Man, I'm the No. 1 living and..." - Quote by Kanye West

“What if you're Gaudi and you know you're the best architect and everyone is saying that you're saying you're the best architect the wrong way?”

“It's a tough world out there. You're going to prepare yourself for politics, bad bosses, hating employees - and usually when you're the absolute best, you get hated on the most.”

“I am a black new wave artist.”

“For a man to achieve all that is demanded of him he must regard himself as greater than he is.”

“I got so strong I felt like a giant.....When I stood on the tee with Arnold and Jack, I was tiny compared to them. But I never believed they were bigger than me. So the mind is so fascinating.”

“You are in the perfect position to get there from here.”

“I am telling folks that the Country as a whole is "Sound," and that all those who's heads are solid are bound to get back into the market again. I tell 'em that this Country is bigger than Wall Street, and if they don't believe it, I show 'em the map.”

“The encouraging thing is that every time you meet a situation, though you may think at the time it is an impossibility and you go through the tortures of the damned, once you have met it and lived through it you find that forever after you are freer than you ever were before. . . . You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, “I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.”

“A man of truth must ever be confident, if he has also equal need to be diffident.”
