Max Weber
“Today's capitalist economic order is a monstrous cosmos, into which the individual is born and which in practice is for him, at least as an individual, simply a given, an immutable shell in which he is obliged to live. It forces on the individual, to the extent that he is caught up in the relationships of the "market," the norms of its economic activity.”
Max Weber, The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism

Jordan B. Peterson
“When you have something to say, silence is a lie.”
Jordan B. Peterson, 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos

Max Weber
“Because death is meaningless, civilised life as such is meaningless.”
Max Weber

“Some people mistakenly refer to software defects as bugs. When called bugs, they seem like pesky things that should be swatted or even ignored. This trivializes a critical problem and fosters a wrong attitude. Thus, when an engineer says there are only a few bugs left in a program, the reaction is one of relief. *Supposed, however, that we called them time bombs instead of bugs.* Would you feel the same sense of relief if a programmer told you that he had thoroughly tested a program and there were only a few time bombs left in it? Just using a different term changes your attitude entirely.”
Watts S. Humphrey, Reflections on Management: How to Manage Your Software Projects, Your Teams, Your Boss, and Yourself

Jordan B. Peterson
“The successful among us delay gratification. The successful among us bargain with the future.”
Jordan B. Peterson, 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos
