Ray Blasing > Ray's Quotes

“I’ve always believed that quotes are one of the most powerful tools we have for sharpening ideas and amplifying wisdom. That’s why I spent years researching and embedding hundreds—famous and obscure, from Aristotle to Oprah Winfrey—throughout both General Career Intelligence and Advanced Career Intelligence. A well-chosen quote does more than decorate a page: it crystallizes an idea, places an exclamation point on a lesson, and anchors a moment in memory far better than prose alone ever could. And when the insight comes from someone we admire or trust, it lends a resonance and credibility that deepens the message. Bravo to the greats—and the quieter voices—whose few well-crafted words continue to guide, inspire, and steady us.

I’ll end this first comment with one of my favorite reflections on why reading matters:

“By reading the writings of the most interesting minds in history, we meditate with our own minds and theirs as well. This to me is a miracle.” — Kurt Vonnegut”
