“Sonnet of Stagnation Stagnated water breeds disease, When in motion it breathes life. Stagnated mind breeds segregation, When in motion it breaks divide. Stagnated air breeds pollution, When in motion it brings rejuvenation. Stagnated ideas breed prejudice, When in motion they bring illumination. We are not a species, we are a family, A stagnated psyche cannot feel its delight. Open your eyes from your rigid sleep, In your vision the world will unite. All animals are bound to live in stagnation. Only human neurons hold the capacity for expansion.”

“The financial crisis didn't happen because its techniques didn't work; it happened because they worked all too well. There is an element of truth to Warren Buffett's characterization of these techniques as 'financial weapons of mass destruction.' Securization, credit default swaps, and other derivative securities are the financial equivalent of Einstein's famous formula. Global financial markets contain enormous financial energy, and when detonated in an uncontrolled and irresponsible manner, you get bubbles, crashes, and years of nuclear fallout. But the analogy works both ways - it also implies that when we use these tools carefully and responsibly, we get virtually unlimited power for fueling innovation and economic growth.”
