Felix Dennis Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Felix Dennis:

America is not the center of the universe.

I'm very proud of the fact that I'm one of Britain's biggest selling poets. That gives me a huge amount of pleasure.

Felix Dennis

Money is power. Power is an aphrodisiac.

Felix Dennis

Unless you are completely retired, earning money is the best form of wealth preservation.

Felix Dennis

Publishing magazines for yourself is not good business, man.

Felix Dennis

The vast majority of free verse is ghastly. Utterly ghastly. No one reads it. No one listens to it.

Felix Dennis

When you're writing, you're in a totally different zone... I can start a difficult poem and look up at the clock and see to my astonishment that three hours have passed.

Felix Dennis

I am absolutely convinced that my life was redeemed by poetry.

Felix Dennis

No poetry that I'm aware of, however bad or glorious, has ever left somebody a worse person than they were before they read it.

Felix Dennis

Posthumous reputations have little to do with real lives.

Felix Dennis

I have been portrayed by actors in three television documentaries, two plays, one musical and a film. It's no fun watching yourself being traduced and imitated by an actor.

Felix Dennis

The climate has been changing since there was a climate.

Felix Dennis

Human beings are definitely changing the planet, but how much impact they are having on climate, I don't know and I don't care.

Felix Dennis

America is not the center of the universe.

Felix Dennis

I hear poets complaining: 'We face what our forebears did not face. We face TV. We face radio. We face this and that.'

Felix Dennis

There is never a time in a company's history when cost control can be relegated to the back burner, but for a startup company, keeping costs low is a vital necessity.

Felix Dennis

Poetry is one of the oldest of all art forms, and one of its powers for shamans and tribal leaders was the mnemonic.

Felix Dennis

People think I'm just an old Luddite, but that's untrue. I buy every new gizmo as it comes out, play with it until I understand how it works, and then give it away.

Felix Dennis

'The Week' is my favourite magazine. Everyone from presidents to CEOs of companies love it, politicians, people in the massive charity business in America, in the arts and even more especially in the media.

Felix Dennis

Discourse has ended in America. It's all just shouting and ranting and demonization. Do you know how the rest of the world laughs at you guys? Have you got any idea? They're just rocking with laughter night and day.

Felix Dennis

You can actually be bored stiff while you're dying.

Felix Dennis

I loathe and detest movies and television and don't watch any. I do not have the time.

Felix Dennis

I cannot abide being bored.

Felix Dennis

With the greatest of respect, I have watched Apple from the day it started. I was publishing magazines about the Apple II before most people had ever heard what a personal computer was.

Felix Dennis

You cannot be seeking yourself when you're making money.

Felix Dennis

I love the business of business; I love the risk raking.

Felix Dennis

Computers are wasteful of paper and time. Once, we'd get documents with a few errors. Now, people make hundreds of copies until each sheet is flawless and memos are duplicated endlessly. Managers get swamped with emails.

Felix Dennis

I never sue journalists. I employ journalists. I employ too many of them. I don't sue journalists.

Felix Dennis

I'm an entrepreneur, a businessman. I've got a lot of money, and that doesn't go very well with the whole 'starving artist in a garret' routine.

Felix Dennis

As with the onset of sudden celebrity, for the newly rich, the world often becomes a darker, narrower, less generous place; a paradox that elicits scant sympathy, but is nonetheless true.

Felix Dennis

Nobody could like Donald Trump, surely, except his mother. No one really likes The Donald. But how can you not have respect for a guy who's been down on the floor and just keeps coming back? Nothing will keep Donald Trump down until they drive a wooden stake in his heart and a silver bullet in his brain.

Felix Dennis

There are as many forms of happiness as sorrow, though most prove fleeting.

Felix Dennis

You shouldn't go around the world behaving ruthlessly when you don't have to. Sometimes you do have to. There is only so much pie to go around. If you're going to take more than your fair share of pie, as socialists would look at it, then someone else is not getting his. That means you've got to take it away from them.

Felix Dennis

The age of celebrity editors and monstrous staffing are over.

Felix Dennis

I don't take investment advice from wealth managers. I have grown several businesses from scratch and amassed many millions from my publishing empire - why would I take advice from someone who has never experienced that?

Felix Dennis

There are jobs, particularly database-oriented ones, for which computers are necessary, but for everyday office life, I question whether they have brought the productivity that their enormous cost, up to £10,000 per person, demands.

Felix Dennis

Making money is certainly the one addiction I cannot shake.
