Ashutosh > Ashutosh's Quotes

“A modern, sophisticated financial sector...seeks ways to exploit government decency, whether it is the government's concern about inequality, unemployment, or the stability of the country's banks.

And yet the two go together, because each of these systems softens the deficiencies of the other.”
― Raghuram Rajan

“Love should be treated like a business deal, but every business deal has its own terms and its own currency. And in love, the currency is virtue.

“Sometimes people hold a core belief that is very strong. When they are
presented with evidence that works against that belief, the new
evidence cannot be accepted. It would create a feeling that is
extremely uncomfortable, called cognitive dissonance. And because it
is so important to protect the core belief, they will rationalize,
ignore and even deny anything that doesn't fit in with the core belief.”
― Frantz Fanon, Black Skin, White Masks

“Developing a sense of deep respect for your buyers helps in achieving repeated and predictable sales.”
― Alok Kejriwal, Why I Stopped Wearing My Socks
