When the Goldman Sachs saleswoman called Mike Burry and told him that her firm would be happy to sell him credit default swaps in $100 million chunks, Burry guessed, rightly, that Goldman wasn't ultimately on the other side of his bets. Goldman would never be so stupid as to make huge naked bets that millions of insolvent Americans would repay their home loans. He didn't know who, or why, or how much, but he knew that some giant corporate entity with a triple-A rating was out there selling credit default swaps on subprime mortgage bonds. Only a triple-A-rated corporation could assume such risk, no money down, and no questions asked. Burry was right about this, too, but it would be three years before he knew it. The party on the other side of his bet against subprime mortgage bonds was the triple-A-rated insurance company AIG - American International Group, Inc. ~ Michael Lewis
Mike Burry quotes by Michael Lewis

Mike Burry quotes by Mike Quade
Ten years ago, if you asked me where I'd be now, I'd have said F-ing dead. But I'm not dead. I have an awesome life. And I'm just very grateful. That's the one thing I try to convey. Gratitude. ~ Mike Tyson
Mike Burry quotes by Mike Tyson
Yeah, look, I think what we have with the social media and the digital media, and all the telecommunications we have today is a big megaphone, amplification. ~ Mike DeWine
Mike Burry quotes by Mike DeWine
I was really happy with Mike [Green]. Not only was he contributing offensively, but he was really making good plays, good decisions. Defensively, he was really strong. For a debut, I didn't know how he would be just coming off a little bit of an injury. He was real strong. I'm glad he got through that. I think he's looking forward to a good season now. ~ Barry Trotz
Mike Burry quotes by Barry Trotz
Silver mining in the United States didn't start, like hard-core, until the mid-1850s," Louis said. "And only really got big when the Comstock Lode was discovered in 1859 in California."

"It was bad work. Dangerous. Like any mining. But silver also lets out fumes when it's mined. Even Pliny the Elder wrote about how harmful the fumes were, especially to animals. You know Pliny the Elder?"

"The problem with the silver fumes," Louis continued, "is that, over time, they gave the miners delusions. Bad enough that they had to stop mining. Their health deteriorated. And a bunch of them even died." Hard to make fun of something like that, so Pepper didn't. "Do you know what people would say, in these mining towns, when they saw one of these miners falling apart? Walking through town muttering and swinging at phantoms? They said the Devil in Silver got them. It became shorthand. Like someone might say, 'What happened to Mike?' And the answer was always the same. 'The Devil in Silver got him.' " Louis sat straight and crossed his arms and surveyed the table. "Do you understand what I'm trying to tell you?" "You're saying we're just making this thing up," Pepper said quietly. Louis seemed disappointed. He dropped his hands into his lap and folded them there. He looked at his sister and Pepper. He turned his head to take in the other patients gathered with their family members there in the hospital. "I'm saying they were dying," Louis said. "They definitely weren't ~ Victor LaValle
Mike Burry quotes by Victor LaValle
I don't want anyone to have to interview me. I wish I didn't have to talk too much about myself. ~ Mike Tyson
Mike Burry quotes by Mike Tyson
We should at least stay for the sunset," Mike suggested. "There's nothing like a Pacific sunset. Would you like that?" "I would. Do you think I should call Jack? Let him know?" Mike shrugged. "I don't know what kind of arrangement you two have. Would he be worried if you're not home before dark?" Remembering her brother's dark mood in the morning, the way he'd tried to warn her off Mike, she almost said that Jack would be especially worried tonight. But instead she said, "As a courtesy, I'll give him a call. I'm really having too much fun to go back yet." He touched her cheek with the back of a knuckle. "Are you, Brie?" he asked softly. "You don't have to ask." She smiled. "There's ~ Robyn Carr
Mike Burry quotes by Robyn Carr
I spent 10 years fighting for reform in Cook County, and I didn't change my DNA when I got to Washington. ~ Mike Quigley
Mike Burry quotes by Mike Quigley
I think because I've been working in front of audiences for so many years, I'm able to take in the input, good or bad, and just say, 'This is the part I agree with that you're saying, and these are the parts I don't agree with.' ~ Mike Birbiglia
Mike Burry quotes by Mike Birbiglia
Being overweight and obesity are major risk factors for many chronic diseases for South Dakotans of all ages. When people are overweight or obese, they have more health problems and more serious health problems, in addition to higher health care costs. ~ Mike Rounds
Mike Burry quotes by Mike Rounds
I'm a very un-excitable person. I always take things with a grain of salt, I'm always very even-keeled, and I'm always waiting for the other shoe to drop. ~ Mike Colter
Mike Burry quotes by Mike Colter
Steven lets go of his humanity with much more relief than fear. It was an awkward burden to carry at the best of times. ~ Mike Carey
Mike Burry quotes by Mike Carey
But that is the funny thing about dreams...Just when you are sure you have a good one, an even better one comes along. ~ Mike Lupica
Mike Burry quotes by Mike Lupica
If the only reason I coached was to win basketball games, my life would be pretty shallow ~ Mike Krzyzewski
Mike Burry quotes by Mike Krzyzewski
Presidents Lincoln, Jefferson, Jackson, presidents have understood that the Supreme Court cannot make a law. They cannot make it. The legislature has to make it, the executive branch has to sign it and enforce it. ~ Mike Huckabee
Mike Burry quotes by Mike Huckabee
If a person wants to be atheistic it's his God-given right to be an atheist. ~ Mike Patton
Mike Burry quotes by Mike Patton
We have a saying in K9: "If you put three dog handlers in a room, the only thing that two of them will agree on is that the third is wrong. ~ Mike Dowling
Mike Burry quotes by Mike Dowling
The United States forgot - if it ever knew - the supreme virtue of an enlightened realpolitik, which is to keep one's powder dry, intervene militarily as a last resort (rather than a first), and maintain industrial and fiscal strength at home. ~ Mike Lofgren
Mike Burry quotes by Mike Lofgren
Courage gives a leader the ability to stand straight and not sway, no matter which way the wind blows. ~ Mike Krzyzewski
Mike Burry quotes by Mike Krzyzewski
He seems like a nice charming guy. [Mike Huckabee] doesn't believe in evolution and has some nutty views about what it is we should do about ending violence in our inner city - we should make sure all of our young people are armed. Republicans scare me. ~ Elizabeth Edwards
Mike Burry quotes by Elizabeth Edwards
We have seen economic growth. But we have not seen earnings growth. ~ Mike Farrell
Mike Burry quotes by Mike Farrell
I think people keep baseballs in their cars, just to be prepared in case they see me. It's cool to get recognized in public; it's an incredible feeling. ~ Mike Trout
Mike Burry quotes by Mike Trout
As a director, my job is, and always has been, divided into a number of things: dealing with the crew, the money and the studio, and the marketing and publicity. These are all different jobs that have to be learned and done as well as possible. The celebrity part rarely touches a director. ~ Mike Nichols
Mike Burry quotes by Mike Nichols
Can you imagine the most trusted man in America? Cronkite deserved it too. ~ Mike Wallace
Mike Burry quotes by Mike Wallace
Elektra has no control over the live show, at least. ~ Mike Gordon
Mike Burry quotes by Mike Gordon
I had it in my mind: to be confident, and to keep saying that until the confidence appeared. But I took it too far. Confidence did help make me champion, but, man, I took it to a whole different level. I was a megalomaniac. I was not humble and it eventually came back on me. So I want my kids to know, keep humbleness and kindness in their hearts. It will prevail. ~ Mike Tyson
Mike Burry quotes by Mike Tyson
I want to feel better. My wife says she likes me not drinking, not so many highs, so many lows, I don't lose temper, I'm more patient. ~ Mike Bryan
Mike Burry quotes by Mike Bryan
You will never know what your potential is unless you give life 100 percent effort every day. ~ Mike Rabe
Mike Burry quotes by Mike Rabe
It's a planet," I said. "It's not what we thought it was back home. It's not this safe cocoon, man. We're out here spinning in all this chaos. The Earth is a planet. The Earth is a spaceship, and we're all space travelers. ~ Mike Massimino
Mike Burry quotes by Mike Massimino
Sometimes in life you'll notice things that you think should upset the people around you, but you stay quiet about it. Being the one who makes your friends uncomfortable is an awful feeling. ~ Mike Maguire
Mike Burry quotes by Mike Maguire
Surrender to the flow. ~ Mike Gordon
Mike Burry quotes by Mike Gordon
Quayle said the worst thing that happened to him was that he never trusted his own judgment. I said from now on I am going to go with my own judgment. ~ Mike Tyson
Mike Burry quotes by Mike Tyson
Whereas CO2 is the dominant greenhouse gas overall, it accounts for only 11 percent of agricultural emissions.2 The rest is nitrous oxide (53 percent) and methane (36 percent). Nitrous oxide is 296 times more potent per pound than CO2 as a climate-change gas, and on farms it results mainly from the use of fertilizer but also from cattle pee, especially if there is excessive protein in their diet, and from the burning of biomass and fuel.3 Methane, which is 25 times more potent than CO2, is mainly emitted by cows and sheep when they belch. Some is also emitted from silage. The CO2 comes from machinery but also from the heating of greenhouses to grow crops out of season or in countries that just don't have the right climate. ~ Mike Berners-Lee
Mike Burry quotes by Mike Berners-Lee
Before we can talk about a championship, we have to practice like a championship team. ~ Mike Singletary
Mike Burry quotes by Mike Singletary
To those who say it would be too difficult to repeal and replace Obamacare, I say it's a two step process. We repeal the Pelosi Congress in 2010 and replace the Obama Administration in 2012. ~ Mike Pence
Mike Burry quotes by Mike Pence
A political race today, even a primary, is $150 million. The whole political system has become obscene in terms of the absurd amount of money that is required to compete. Just put it on ESPN and call it a sporting event. ~ Mike Huckabee
Mike Burry quotes by Mike Huckabee
I'm not Mother Teresa, but I'm not Charles Manson, either. ~ Mike Tyson
Mike Burry quotes by Mike Tyson
And me all the while having to pee - coughing into the mike when my throat was tired and raw - eyes stinging and lips and chin crumpling in grief at his anger. The sweet tinkle of Electra on the bass and Iphy on the treble with Mama's voice counting, "One and two and ... " as the twins had their piano lesson inside the trailer. The gurgle and hum of the pumps that filtered my brother Arty's "Aqua Boy" tank. And the dim round moon of baby Fortunato's face peering at me from the dark of the risers above Papa. ~ Katherine Dunn
Mike Burry quotes by Katherine Dunn
Rest is a decision we make. Rest is choosing to do nothing when we have too much to do, slowing down when we feel pressure to go faster, stopping instead of starting. Rest is listening to our weariness and responding to our tiredness, not to what is making us tired. Rest is what happens when we say one simple word: "No!" Rest is the ultimate humiliation because in order to rest, we must admit we are not necessary, that the world can get along without us, that God's work does not depend on us. Once we understand how unnecessary we are, only then might we find the right reasons to say yes. Only then might we find the right reasons to decide to be with Jesus instead of working for him. Only then might we have the courage to take a nap with Jesus. ~ Mike Yaconelli
Mike Burry quotes by Mike Yaconelli
I feel that marriage can lead to the ultimate rejection and failure and divorce and things we all fear. ~ Mike Birbiglia
Mike Burry quotes by Mike Birbiglia
The One." Mike declared and Merry's brows shot up.
"The One?" Merry asked.
"The One." Mike confirmed.
"In a weekend?" Merry asked.
"In a weekend," Mike confirmed.
"No shit?" Merry whispered.
"Absolutely no fuckin' shit," Mike answered.
Merry whistled. Then he smiled. Then he repeated, "Good for you, man."
"Oh yeah," Mike muttered. ~ Kristen Ashley
Mike Burry quotes by Kristen Ashley
The fair (ph) transforms the process by which we fund Social Security and Medicare because the money paid in consumption is paid by everybody, including illegals, prostitutes, pimps, drug dealers, all the people that are freeloading off the system now. ~ Mike Huckabee
Mike Burry quotes by Mike Huckabee
I'm not looking for Bible verses to back up a lifestyle of passiveness. I'm looking for Bible verses and life experiences to teach me to live more radically for Christ. ~ Mike Bickle
Mike Burry quotes by Mike Bickle
Whatever you possess today is enough to create anything else you will ever want in your future. ~ Mike Murdock
Mike Burry quotes by Mike Murdock
I was very much a late bloomer. That's not to say that girls didn't express interest in me from time to time, but I just, I did not know how to respond to that. ~ Mike Birbiglia
