8 – “If we want happiness, I think we should follow classic Greek wisdom and live with areté.

Here’s to getting our areté on!”

9 – “All the other stuff without love? Not worth a whole lot. Love starts with ourselves and needs to be approached like anything else we want to master-with a lot of diligent studying and practicing!”

Bonus quote

In an recent interview with Rock 100.5 Atlanta, Brian Johnson talked about the worst part of being in the band and he revealed that the privacy is one of the most difficult things in his life:

“Well, look, we’ve got iPhones, cellphones and social media, which I’m not on – I don’t even have a cellphone and iPhone. The privacy bit – because you were always quiet, AC/DC always lived under the radar as it were.”

“All the boys when I joined, lived well-away from the hoopla and the special parties, opening-up things or whatever it is, the boys always kept well below the radar, and that was happy, care-free.”
