"“Absolutely, that’s beyond any discussion,” was a phrase he overused. It was a signal indicating the end of the argumentation field or simply the end of conversation on a particular subject. He was rather domineering and always brought his point to a close, even when someone tried to change the subject. Then he waited, listened till the end, but still said what he intended. “I don’t like brutality, but I’m firm. If someone crosses certain boundaries, I say no, and that’s the end,” he explained."

"He could test his interlocutor for a long time to check whether he was dealing with an ordinary flatterer or someone worth his time. He liked to engage in discussions by taking opposing positions, sometimes practically imposing his own opinion. But at the right moment, he could admit with an innocent smile: “I’m just provoking, please don’t be offended.”"

"He had often been encouraged to write a book about how to earn your first billion. – “When I hear someone say, write a handbook on how to make money, I say no. There is no such thing. It is the accumulation of many matters and circumstances. First, you need to see something others don’t see. You need to read and observe a lot. But it’s not like I walk from club to club, listening to who does business and where.”"

"few years ago, Kulczyk said: “I think it’s not enough to be an eagle to succeed. You also need what we can call a hunting ground. We know perfectly well that even the best eagle in the desert can still go hungry.”"
