More quotes by Scott Adams
I hated my work. It never seemed to me to be what I should be doing.
Scott Adams
I think the pleasure of completed work is what makes blogging so popular. You have to believe most bloggers have few if any actual readers. The writers are in it for other reasons.

If you’re going to create, create a lot. Creativity is not like playing the slot machines, where failure to win means you go home broke. With creativity, if you don’t win, you’re usually no worse off than if you hadn’t played.

Give a man a fish, and you'll feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he'll buy a funny hat. Talk to a hungry man about fish, and you're a consultant.

The best you can hope for in this life is that your delusions are benign and your compulsions have utility.

I was busier than a beaver in a coffee lake.

Some of my best friends are Venture Capitalists, but let's face it, a hamster with Alzheimer's could make those kind of numbers. It's great work if you can get it.
Scott Adams
Needing someone is like needing a parachute. If they are not there the first time you need them, chances are you won't be needing them again.

My investments have been hurt.

When life gives you lemons... choke on them and die... you stupid lemon eater.
