Nassim Nicholas Taleb
“If you hear a "prominent" economist using the word 'equilibrium,' or 'normal distribution,' do not argue with him; just ignore him, or try to put a rat down his shirt.”
Nassim Nicholas Taleb, The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable

Elizabeth Gilbert
“Infatuation is not quite the same thing as love; it's more like love's shady second cousin who's always borrowing money and can't hold down a job.”
Elizabeth Gilbert, Committed: A Skeptic Makes Peace with Marriage

Nassim Nicholas Taleb
“A prophet is not someone with special visions, just someone blind to most of what others see”
Nassim Nicholas Taleb, The Bed of Procrustes: Philosophical and Practical Aphorisms

Brandi L. Bates
“Give me Pablo Neruda, picnic beneath a full moon & iridescent stars, black olives, cherries, dark things, canoe on a river...that's romance.”
Brandi L. Bates, Soledad

John Green
“One swing set, well worn but structurally sound, seeks new home. Make memories with your kid or kids so that someday he or she or they will look into the backyard and feel the ache of sentimentality as desperately as I did this afternoon. It's all fragile and fleeting, dear reader, but with this swing set, your child(ren) will be introduced to the ups and downs of human life gently and safely, and may also learn the most important lesson of all: No matter how hard you kick, no matter how high you get, you can't go all the way around.”
John Green, The Fault in Our Stars
