As with the onset of sudden celebrity, for the newly rich, the world often becomes a darker, narrower, less generous place; a paradox that elicits scant sympathy, but is nonetheless true.

From Felix Dennis

There is never a time in a company's history when cost control can be relegated to the back burner, but for a startup company, keeping costs low is a vital necessity.

From 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.

From Felix Dennis

From Felix Dennis

The vast majority of free verse is ghastly. Utterly ghastly. No one reads it. No one listens to it.

From Felix Dennis

I hear poets complaining: 'We face what our forebears did not face. We face TV. We face radio. We face this and that.'

From Felix Dennis

No woman or girl is going to want to spend time looking at pretty dresses on the Internet. Vogue is going to be around for a long time to come.

From Felix Dennis

America is not the center of the universe.

From Felix Dennis

From Felix Dennis

Obviously, waste disposal is an enormous and fantastic industry.
