Famous Quotes By A.D. Aliwat
An important part of being an alpha is to be hateful and calculating, but to appear just inconsiderate. You need to put in effort to get what you want, but people will push back if they think you're doing something maliciously. If they believe you just don't know any better, are just kind of a selfish dick and they got in the way of that, rather than thinking they were a target, then you can get away with a lot more, and from then on they either avoid you or accept you as a force of nature. — A.D. Aliwat
It wasn't really acceptable to be single for more than a week, two tops, if you were cool in junior high. — A.D. Aliwat
If people stopped having sex, the world would end in about a hundred years. Think about that shit. If money and power didn't exist, people would still be fucking. — A.D. Aliwat
Growing up, us Eighties Babies were all told we were the best, that we could be anything we wanted to be; it was normal to spoil kids and fill them with lofty expectations. The only difference between me and everybody else was that I really was the best and really could be anything I wanted to be. — A.D. Aliwat
Rock stars have many of the same qualities as athletes - millions for doing what they love, fans, easy pussy, fame, status, the ability to do whatever they want when they want. While what they do is still cool, the main difference is that it's less masculine. You connect with your fans in this intense, intimate, emotional way that is less about you and more about them, how you make them feel. When you're an athlete, it's all about you. They cheer you on. When you make music, you cheer them on, provide the soundtrack to their little lives, and all they do is cheer you back to say "Thanks. — A.D. Aliwat
There's a reason why the Super Bowl is watched way more than the NBA Finals and World Series. — A.D. Aliwat
When you're a professional athlete, you get paid millions of dollars for doing something that's not only fun, but also physical and badass. You have fans: pathetic people without their own lives or hopes or dreams that measure their happiness on your weekly performance (this still boggles my mind, but in the best way possible - however, my role as a fan now is quite detached). You get to travel around to different cities and fuck their most beautiful women. You are given license to do pretty much whatever you want all the time, and are forgiven easily and often instantly when caught doing anything illegal. Professional athletes can literally get away with murder. — A.D. Aliwat
Bullying is beneath alphas. Bullies are just pussies that are big enough to get away with exorcising their emotional problems. — A.D. Aliwat
Francis!" she yelled from the living room. I fucking hated it that she still called me that and refused to answer whenever she did. I told her from the time I was nine to call me Frank. She mostly only called me that stupid, effete fucking name when she was pissed at me. I hated it so much I once told her if, for whatever reason, I died young - got hit by a car, whatever - that I wanted my tombstone to read "Frank," and if it didn't, I would come back as a ghost and haunt her. — A.D. Aliwat
The president is the most powerful man in the world, and it would be great to be him because of that, but really, I could only see myself doing it under my own terms. I think I'd make a better dictator. — A.D. Aliwat
Really, the definition of what makes us "human" confuses me. Showing "humanity" is like this synonym for "treating others kindly" or "like you want to be treated" or whatever, when that isn't really human at all. Whoever came up with that definition is a real scammer, and a real genius. More than anything else, humans have been terrible to each other throughout history, and this is still the way it works today and will continue to work. It's how we're wired. I have "human understanding"; that's it. — A.D. Aliwat
Even more than music, rock-and-roll is sex. — A.D. Aliwat
Organization is a masculine trait, cleanliness a feminine one. Cleanliness is next to godliness because manliness is godliness. — A.D. Aliwat

Being an investment banker is pretty much the perfect job for an all around triple-threat genius, and because I'm doing so well with it, I know I'm actually smarter than certifiable geniuses like Stephen Hawking and Einstein. — A.D. Aliwat
I could be described, sure, with words like cool guy or, again, cool incarnate, rebel, badass, whatever, but I viewed these as just descriptive words . . . they serviced me; I no longer was defined by any of them, and I no longer sought to become the definition of anything other than myself. — A.D. Aliwat
Worse than getting kicked out of your slot to go on to a winning season is to lead during a losing one. Nobody wants to be king of the losers. — A.D. Aliwat
There really is nothing like firsthand knowledge if it's mine. — A.D. Aliwat
I make 2+2=5, and I get to keep the remaining 1 that's not really there. I truly am a Master of the Universe. I don't just do "God's work," as our CEO once put it, it's more like I've actually become a god myself. — A.D. Aliwat
Being comfortable in your own skin is the spirit of rock-and-roll and, really, the spirit of cool. — A.D. Aliwat
I love movies and all, but I could never imagine standing around saying lines and playing make believe all day. It's too fucking ridiculous. Also, even children and animals can technically be actors. It's not a job for a man. — A.D. Aliwat
If you're tall enough, there's no good reason you should be a nerd. Unless you're a nerd that's kind of a dick, and you start your own company like Bill Gates or the Facebook guy or something, odds are you have a shitty job where you do most of the work and don't make anything, while a tall former prep is an executive or in sales, which are both easy and primarily just involve taking credit for a nerd's work, and also make a shitload more money. — A.D. Aliwat
A junior high sports bus was, in the same vein as some fancier modes of passenger transport - limousines, private jets, coaches, whatever - a place where the important people, the king and queen, sat in the back. — A.D. Aliwat
I like cheating. It makes me feel good about myself. It's a very easy way to win, since all relationships, especially more "serious" ones, are, in a way, wars. — A.D. Aliwat

I was nine when I figured out it's better to be respected than liked. — A.D. Aliwat
Fraternities aren't cool at all, not in the real, rock-and-roll sense, the one I now knew. They have a reputation of housing douchebags that pay for friends and try to seem better than everyone else, and actually smart, cool people shouldn't want to be a part of anything like that. — A.D. Aliwat
I hate almost throwing up. Only pussies throw up. — A.D. Aliwat
Fame had kept me from getting laid that night. Fame would make it so other people would bother me, follow me around with cameras, be all up in my shit, keep me from doing what I wanted to do when I wanted to do it. Fame could even potentially kill me. It killed a lot of people: John Lennon, Princess Diana, Selena. — A.D. Aliwat
I hate pretty much everyone almost as much as I love myself. — A.D. Aliwat
Where wealth and status are concerned, shit isn't supposed to be hard. Ivies are known for "grade inflation" - though there is a lot of work, the reward for a mediocre job at completing it is still usually an A. In any given corporation, the higher the role and pay, the less that person actually does. CEOs who get fired for sucking at their jobs and losing a shit-ton of money are often given multi-million dollar "golden parachutes." It was kinda the same with this frat; we were the best, so we did the least. — A.D. Aliwat
Ex-jocks, like all jocks, never back down from a good fight. Jocks are alphas (or betas, aspiring) and animals. — A.D. Aliwat

Not caring is absolute freedom, and if you own it, all the way, it emits supreme confidence. — A.D. Aliwat
Sometimes it's nice to remember the little things. — A.D. Aliwat
Sex is better than power because people use power to have sex. Sex is better than money because people use money to have power to have sex. Sex is really what motivates people; it's what makes the world work. — A.D. Aliwat
Doing reality TV would have made me more famous than rich, and that would have been awful. — A.D. Aliwat
An alpha would never google anyone they lived with. — A.D. Aliwat
We were the untamed young bucks, testosterone and beer fueling our charge, fear alone left in the wake. Everybody thought we were a little dangerous, and that was cool. — A.D. Aliwat
I didn't ask any questions. I didn't think. The steroids did that for me. — A.D. Aliwat
Polarization breeds respect. — A.D. Aliwat
It's not "Why have hamburger when you can have steak?" It's "I'll have the filet mignon, rib eye, t-bone, and fuck it, throw a couple of burgers in there too, I guess." Alphas need variety. — A.D. Aliwat
We weren't old and lame and interested in companionship; that's only functional at a certain age for child rearing or to make sure you don't die alone. Dating was fucking. — A.D. Aliwat

All guys involved in high school athletics are more or less the same - former athletes themselves, big guys, maybe played a little college ball at some shitty school in some shitty program, charismatic for teachers, a little goofy and dim, their lives outside of their sport's season barely worth living, their once kinda hot wives having grown old-looking and probably fat. They were like my seventh-grade coach, except maybe with five or so more I.Q. points. Anyway, I liked them well enough. — A.D. Aliwat
Everybody that breaks up has a little tally of their victories which they count after the relationship to see how they did; cheating gives you a million tallies and more or less makes the entire relationship a lie. — A.D. Aliwat
The kinds of jobs a fifteen-and-a-half-year-old can get are not worth doing. They pay shit and suck. — A.D. Aliwat
