“It is strange how the romances of the teenage years retain a poignancy all through life - how a girl who turns you down when you're 16 retains an aura in your memory even long after you, and she, have ceased to be who you were then. I attended my high school reunion a couple of weeks ago and discovered, in the souvenir booklet assembled by the reunion committee, that one of the girls in my class had a crush on me all those years ago.

“We hear a great deal of lamentation these days about writers having all taken themselves to the colleges and universities where they live decorously instead of going out and getting firsthand information about life. The fact is that anybody who has survived his childhood has enough information about life to last him the rest of his days. If you can't make something out of a little experience, you probably won't be able to make it out of a lot. The writer's business is to contemplate experience, not to be merged in it.” IfsLittlesEnoughFactsAbleLastsDealsTakenChildhoodInformationCollegeUniversityThese DaysContemplatingGoing OutSurvivedColleges And UniversitiesLamentation Book:Mystery and Manners: Occasional Prose Source: Mystery and Manners: Occasional Prose

“Decision-making is difficult because, by its nature, it involves uncertainty. If there was no uncertainty, decisions would be easy! The uncertainty exists because we don't know the future, we don't know if the decision we make will lead to the best possible outcome. Cognitive science has taught us that relying on our gut or intuition often leads to bad decisions, particularly in cases where statistical information is available. Our guts and our brains didn't evolve to deal with probabilistic thinking.” IfsThinkingKnowsWould BeEasyDifficultDecisionDealsBrainCasesInformationTaughtAvailableIntuitionEvolveUncertaintyOutcomesGutsDecision MakingCognitiveTaught UsBad DecisionCognitive ScienceDecisions We Make Author:Daniel Levitin
“I do believe that one's writing life needs to be kept separate from Po-Biz.
