“How in the hell could a man enjoy being awakened at 8:30 a.m. by an alarm clock, leap out of bed, dress, force-feed, shit, piss, brush teeth and hair, and fight traffic to get to a place where essentially you made lots of money for somebody else and were asked to be grateful for the opportunity to do so?” - Charles Bukowski
“I say luck is when an opportunity comes along and you're prepared for it.” - Denzel Washington
“The reason a lot of people do not recognize opportunity is because it usually goes around wearing overalls looking like hard work.” - Thomas A Edison
“I feel that luck is preparation meeting opportunity.” - Oprah Winfrey
“The strength of a love is always misjudged if we evaluate it by its immediate cause and not the stress that went before it, the dark and hollow space full of disappointment and loneliness that precedes all the great events in the heart's history.” - Stefan Zweig
