Philip Roth
“When you're beguiled it helps not to think too much and just to let yourself enjoy the beguilement.”
Philip Roth, The Dying Animal

Philip Roth
“Maybe it's still a bit of an affront to people, to fail to abide by the old clock of life.”
Philip Roth, The Dying Animal

Friedrich A. Hayek
“According to the website of the libertarian Cato Institute, “A frequent lament amongst libertarians is the number of talented individuals who never received the prize. Fritz Machlup, for example, was a leading theorist in the pure theory of international trade. Ludwig von Mises was one of the most pioneering economists of the twentieth century. Lord P. T. Bauer contributed vast scholarship to the literature of development economics. Gordon Tullock, Buchanan's partner in the creation of Public Choice, has done pioneering work in the field of rent seeking.”
Friedrich August von Hayek

Central Intelligence Agency
“An individual analyst also can brainstorm to produce a wider range of ideas than a group might generate, without regard for other analysts’ egos, opinions, or objections.
However, an individual will not have the benefit of others’ perspectives to help develop the ideas as fully. Moreover, an individual may have difficulty breaking free of his or her cognitive biases without the benefit of a diverse group.”
Central Intelligence Agency, A Tradecraft Primer: Structured Analytic Techniques for Improving Intelligence Analysis - Cognitive and Perceptual Biases, Reasoning Processes

Hiromi Kawakami
“Despite the more than thirty-year difference in our ages, I felt much more familiar with him than with friends my own age.”
Hiromi Kawakami, Strange Weather in Tokyo
