If the influence of luck is a delusion, then all I can say is that the delusion is virtually universal. - Felix Dennis
I'm so suspicious of our own understanding of the past. I just think that your mind plays absolute tricks on you and fools you every minute of every day. And so when you're talking about the past, you're talking about something that never happened. At least it didn't happen the way you think it happened. - Felix Dennis
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
In the end, the railroads made America and nanotech will make the 21st century, and that is the end of the story. The beginning of the story and the end of the story. - Felix Dennis
I've been busy for years, buying land, often under pseudonyms, and planting trees on it. All the money is going into it when I die - and in the end I'd like to think that it will be 20 to 30,000 acres. - Felix Dennis

Hold out until mutiny is imminent before employing even a single additional member of staff. More startups are wrecked by overstaffing than by any other cause, bar failure to monitor cash flow. - Felix Dennis
People really do not have time to read all the newspapers in the world and all the sites that we now commonly use on the web. There is no possibility of keeping up. - 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
People who get trapped in the tunnel vision of making money think that is all there is to life. - Felix Dennis
Poetry forces a writer to condense and crystallise his thoughts and often represents a short cut to truths unsuspected by the author himself. - 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
Say to yourself: The world is full of money. Some of it has my name on it. All I have to do is collect it. - Felix Dennis
Sometimes, to ensure that a talented individual will work for you, or will stay working with you, you need to be flexible. Money is not always the great motivator here. Talented people want a good salary, of course, but surprisingly often they are more attracted to new opportunities and challenges. - Felix Dennis
The belief that you have a great idea is not worth cuckoo spit. Ideas are ten a penny while the ability to execute counts for a great deal more. - Felix Dennis
