Im looking for a quote from a book mentioned on the show
Sure thing, buddy! I've got a powerful little nugget for you from Napoleon Hill, "Every adversity carries with it the seed of an equivalent advantage." That line really punches you right in the gut, doesn't it? It's like, every challenge you face, every hard time - it's not just a problem. It's an opportunity in disguise. There's some gold in there if you're willing to dig for it. Man, I love that quote.
The quote i thi k was mentioned by bryan callen. The moon sat like a clipped fingernail in a sea of cotton
Man, that's a fancy quote, but no, Bryan Callen didn't drop that line on the show. We talked about a lot of stuff, everything from moon landings to conspiracy theories, but "The moon sat like a clipped fingernail in a sea of cotton," no, can't recall that one, brother.
Has anything like that book quote been mentioned by anyone? Maybe something similar
Man, that's a beautiful way to describe the moon. But, I've done over a thousand episodes of this podcast, and I can't recall a specific instance where a guest used that exact phrase. I've certainly had plenty of cosmic conversations with brilliant minds like Neil deGrasse Tyson and Elon Musk, but "The moon sat like a clipped fingernail in a sea of cotton" doesn't ring a bell. But, hey, you never know what can come up in conversation when you get interesting people on the mic!
Are there any guests who've skates their favorite book quotes?
In all the fascinating conversations I've had with guests on the show, we've certainly dug deep into discussion about books. But as far as specific favorite book quotes go, that's not something we usually dive into. We're often more focused on the broad strokes, the themes, and the impacts of the works.
That being said, you'd be surprised how many times authors and book topics have sparked deep and meaningful discussions. I mean, from Chuck Palahniuk's provocative works being banned in prisons to the way Steven Pressfield's works inspire people, there's never a dull moment when it comes to literature on the show.
So, no direct quotes as favorites, but plenty of chatter about the powerful impact of the written word, man. It's all about how these books light a fire in people, make them think differently, and help them shape a vision for their life - that's the real magic.
