“This isn’t a seminar. This isn’t a weekend retreat. Where you are now, you can’t even imagine what the bottom will be like. Only after disaster can we be resurrected. It’s only after you’ve lost everything, that you’re free to do anything. It doesn’t get any better than this. This is your life, and it’s ending one minute at a time. You are not your bank account. You are not the clothes you wear. You are not the contents of your wallet. You are not your grandé latte. You are not the car you drive. You are not your bowel cancer. You are not your fucking khakis. I say, never let me be complete. I say, never let me be content. And let the chips fall where they may.” -Tyler Durden, Fight Club
