Over the past year I have had the great honor and pleasure of sharing The Office of the Treasury with Brian McCullough. Throughout this year I have collected some of his most memorable quotes.

Intro:
Brian has many interesting thoughts, but much like the great Greek philosopher Socrates, he does not write them down. So like Socrates’s student, Plato, I have done my best to document his most poignant statements.

The Quotes:

1/29/2019 (During the time we spent 6 hours in the diner together)

“I feel like I give off the persona that I’m down for anything anytime… mostly because I am.”

“Ever since a year ago I’ve like… come to grips with death.”

2/17/2019

“Every time I walk out onto my porch (balcony) I have a weird urge to jump off.”

3/28/2019

“It’s great to be pessimistic because then you’re either right or pleasantly surprised… I’m a disciplined pessimist”

4/14/2019

(While talking about his life goals) “Become the most powerful Brian McCullough”

5/13/2019

(After I told him he asked a dumb question) “I’m just here to ask dumb questions”

9/6/2019

“I’ve prioritized avoiding emotional distress way to much over the past few years.”

12/4/2019

(After I said a question he asked was impossible to answer) “Those are the only questions I ask.”

Conclusion: Brian McCullough is a very wise man.
