“Loneliness isn't about being by yourself. That's fine, right and good, desirable in many ways.

A place to return.” WayCompanyKnowingLonelinessFineReturnFindingsOppositesBeing YourselfDesirableLanding Author:Jeanette Winterson

“Finding a single investment that will return 20% per year for 40 years tends to happen only in dreamland. In the real world, you uncover an opportunity, and then you compare other opportunities with that. And you only invest in the most attractive opportunities. That's your opportunity cost.
