Quotes

"A lot of well-educated businesspeople will say, 'I don't know if I want to be part of this,'" Charney said. "i'm a young entrepreneur from montreal. i could have dealt drugs. i could have been a party promoter. but selling heroin isn't good for anyone. i want to assert my self-interest, but i don't want to hurt people. people don't want to be evil if they can avoid it. it doesn't feel good and running a business that relies on paying people 20 cents an hour to work in potentially fatal conditions doesn't make people feel good.
