The best thing about being immensely wealthy is not having to be in any particular place at any particular time doing a particular task you don't want to do.
Felix Dennis -
The problem with rich lists is... it is impossible to know what someone is worth until they have died and you have sold it.

Everything I publish is for my readers.
Felix Dennis -
Money is power. Power is an aphrodisiac.
Felix Dennis -
I'm an entrepreneur, a businessman. I've got a lot of money, and that doesn't go very well with the whole 'starving artist in a garret' routine.
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 -
You shouldn't go around the world behaving ruthlessly when you don't have to. Sometimes you do have to. There is only so much pie to go around. If you're going to take more than your fair share of pie, as socialists would look at it, then someone else is not getting his. That means you've got to take it away from them.
Felix Dennis -
Publishing magazines for yourself is not good business, man.

Unless you are completely retired, earning money is the best form of wealth preservation.
Felix Dennis -
This modern mania for interfering in other's lives, usually under the guise of health and safety concerns, is highly irritating and counterproductive. Down with the nanny state.
Felix Dennis -
The climate has been changing since there was a climate.
Felix Dennis -
When you're writing, you're in a totally different zone... I can start a difficult poem and look up at the clock and see to my astonishment that three hours have passed.
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 -
Native trees are so important to our ecosystem.
Felix Dennis
-
You can actually be bored stiff while you're dying.
Felix Dennis -
America is not the center of the universe.
Felix Dennis -
You cannot properly bring up children when you are 69 or 70 and they are 12 and at the height of their madness. You can physically do it, but I don't think it's morally justified.
Felix Dennis -
The vast majority of free verse is ghastly. Utterly ghastly. No one reads it. No one listens to it.
Felix Dennis -
You don't have to live in a garage to write great poetry.
Felix Dennis -
No poetry that I'm aware of, however bad or glorious, has ever left somebody a worse person than they were before they read it.

-
You can collect all the plastic bottle caps you want as long as you give me the money so we can get off this death trap, find somewhere else and have tremendous fun screwing that up as well.
Felix Dennis -
Overhead will eat you alive if not constantly viewed as a parasite to be exterminated. Never mind the bleating of those you employ. 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 -
I have an over-attachment to precision, which is why I've sold more magazines than any man alive.
Felix Dennis -
The age of celebrity editors and monstrous staffing are over.
