“Takes a pretty confident person to think he can beat modern turbolasers with blaster cannons, though." Thrawn shrugged. "I could." "Right, but you're on our side," Eli said drily.”

“Most people lost lot of opportunities that would have changed their lives, because the time the opportunities were presented to them. They didn’t like the person who was giving them the opportunities, or they didn’t feel like it. Their ego and pride got in the way. They didn’t seize the moment. What good does your status do for you, if it makes you sleep hungry. Your pride should not stop you from hustling and from humbling beginnings.”

“. Much as an organization is unlikely to invest millions of dollars in a product that has a small chance of serving many customers, you don’t want to devote thousands of hours of your learning and development time to an area for which there is little demand from your employer or community. This is one of the critiques of the “follow your passion” advice — that it presumes you are at the center of the world, and pursuing your own joy (not service of others) is the objective. I have found that those who leave a lasting mark on the world, in contrast, are always asking what they can give. Exploring specific actions to take, starting with this question, allows you to continually redirect your talents to what's needed most in the social circles close to you.”

“I tried to think optimistically, but nobody came. Time began to behave so strangely. Wait and see. Times like these come for us all. The particulars will be different, but times like these will surely come for you, and when they do, there will be no pulse in the world. No heartbeat. Seconds and minutes won't behave. One moment you'll be living through staccato time where everything feels sharp and bright and fast, and the next you'll be stuck in geologic time and you'll have turned to stone.”
