Sir, 'til this thing be done, my boy's face is to me as the palm of this hand - a lipless unfeatured blank.
All visible objects, man, are but as pasteboard masks. But in the event — in the living act, the undoubted deed — there, some unknown but still reasoning thing puts forth the mouldings of its features. If man will strike, strike through the mask! How can the prisoner reach outside except by thrusting through the wall?
He tasks me; he heaps me; I see in him outrageous strength, inscrutable malice. Be the white whale agent, or be the white whale principle, I will wreak my hate upon him.
Talk not to me of blasphemy, man; I'd strike the sun if it insulted me. For could the sun do that, then could I do the other; since there is ever a sort of fair play in these things, jealousy presiding over all creations.

It is sad that governments are chiefed by the double tongues.
There is iron in your words of death for all Comanche to see, and so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life, and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life, or death.
It shall be life.

Restate my assumptions: One, Mathematics is the language of nature. Two, Everything around us can be represented and understood through numbers. Three: If you graph the numbers of any system, patterns emerge. Therefore, there are patterns everywhere in nature. Evidence: The cycling of disease epidemics; the wax and wane of caribou populations; sun spot cycles; the rise and fall of the Nile. So, what about the stock market? The universe of numbers that represents the global economy. Millions of hands at work, billions of minds. A vast network, screaming with life. An organism. A natural organism. My hypothesis: Within the stock market, there is a pattern as well... Right in front of me... hiding behind the numbers. Always has been.

I say what I like and I do what I like. You will soon learn this about me.

You can put on makeup but you can't hide the crazy.

I'll bet you've got kind of a lovely face under all that paint, huh?

We're all just one trade away from humility.

I want you to make me feel good.
Just make me feel good.

Dr. Green, how can you diagnose someone as an obsessive compulsive disorder, and then act like I have some choice about barging in here?

What do you see when you look at me? A grumpy old man who never answers questions? Who mixes everything up? Who's kept busy by getting his meals? That's not me. Me... I wear shorts. I'm nine years old. I can run faster than the train. I can't feel my aching back anymore. I'm fifteen. I'm fifteen and I'm in love.

With so much chaos, someone will do something stupid. And when they do, things will turn nasty.

I'll admit I may have seen better days, but I'm still not to be had for the price of a cocktail, like a salted peanut.
