Nassim Nicholas Taleb
“It takes a huge investment in introspection to learn that the thirty or more hours spent “studying” the news last month neither had any predictive ability during your activities of that month nor did it impact your current knowledge of the world.”
Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Fooled by Randomness: The Hidden Role of Chance in Life and in the Markets

“As várias formas hodiernas de dissolução do matrimónio, como as uniões livres e o "matrimónio de prova", até ao pseudomatrimónio entre pessoas do mesmo sexo, são, pelo contrário, expressões de uma liberdade anárquica que se faz passar indevidamente por verdadeira libertação do homem. Uma tal pseudoliberdade funda-se numa banalização do corpo que inevitavelmente inclui a banalização do homem. O seu pressuposto é que o homem pode fazer de si o que quer: o seu corpo torna-se assim numa coisa secundária, manipulável sob o ponto de vista humano, a ser utilizado como se deseja. O libertinismo, que se faz passar por descoberta do corpo e do seu valor, é na realidade um dualismo que torna o corpo desprezível, colocando-o por assim dizer fora do ser autêntico e da dignidade da pessoa.”
Bento XVI

Nassim Nicholas Taleb
“Those who talk should do and only those who do should talk.”
Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Skin in the Game: The Hidden Asymmetries in Daily Life

J.R.R. Tolkien
“The Shadow that bred them can only mock, it cannot make: not real things of its own. I don't think it gave life to the orcs, it only ruined them and twisted them.”
J.R.R. Tolkein

C.S. Lewis
“Men became scientific because they expected Law in Nature, and they expected Law in Nature because they believed in a Legislator. In most modern scientists this belief has died: it will be interesting to see how long their confidence in uniformity survives it. Two significant developments have already appeared—the hypothesis of a lawless sub-nature, and the surrender of the claim that science is true. We may be living nearer than we suppose to the end of the Scientific Age.”
C.S. Lewis, Miracles
