Quote by João Doederlein

“amadurecer (v.): é saber admitir que errei com quem eu amo e parar de jogar a culpa no destino e no medo. é não fugir de certas memórias e voltar a ouvir a banda que eu evitava por causa de outra pessoa. é aprender o real valor dos nossos pais. é perceber que, infelizmente, nem tudo tem conserto. é endurecer a alma. é viver o suficiente para aprender que sou uma versão melhor de mim não pela quantidade de vezes que acertei, mas pela quantidade de vezes que errei.”

“We discover the properties of mathematical objects such as triangles. We don’t invent them. This is a crucial point. If we invented the properties of triangles, they would be temporal, contingent entities, subject to incompleteness and inconsistency, and all of our manmade fallacies and errors. In fact, the properties of triangles are the same whether human beings exist or not, and, moreover, these properties are eternally true. Nothing is more astounding than the idea of eternal truths because such truths prove conclusively that mathematics has existed forever, that it’s uncreated and uncaused. Nothing gave rise to mathematics because, in order to do so, it would have to be older than mathematics, and nothing can be older than eternity. Of only one thing can we be sure: eternal things are mathematical things, and not any other kind of thing. “God” would be eternal only if he were mathematical!”

“The Marshall Society talk was doubtless interesting, but probably not altogether pleasant for Hayek. Some forty-odd years later, Joan Robinson in her Ely Lecture talked about how Hayek had “covered the blackboard with his triangles” and about the “pitiful state of confusion” within economics that his talk, in retrospect, represented. In her recounting, Kahn had “asked in a puzzled tone, ‘Is it your view that if I went out tomorrow and bought a new overcoat, that would increase unemployment?’ ‘Yes,’ said Hayek. ‘But,’ pointing to his triangles on the board, ‘it would take a very long mathematical argument to explain why’” (Robinson 1978a [1972], 2–3). In his own reminiscence, Kahn (1984) observed: “It is only fair to Hayek to mention that he had to condense four lectures into one, and that they were written when he had a high temperature” (182).”

“Sadie felt that everything Sam did was an aesthetic choice. Not long after they'd move to California, he had had his name legally changed from Samson Mazur to Sam Mazer. The explanation he gave her: the name Masur had never meant much to him, and Mazer sounded more like the name of a Master Builder of Worlds. In the last year, he had begun to asking them to refer to him just by Mazer, like he was Madonna or Prince. "You can still call me Sam in private," Sam had said to Sadie, "but in public, I'd prefer to go by Mazer. That's my name now.”
