Barack Obama

He didn't come out of my belly, but my God, I've made his bones, because I've attended to every meal, and how he sleeps, and the fact that he swims like a fish because I took him to the ocean. I'm so proud of all those things. But he is my biggest pride.

Steve Jobs

I took a speed-reading course and read War and Peace in twenty minutes. It involves Russia.
