“This is important: to get to know people, listen, expand the circle of ideas. The world is crisscrossed by roads that come closer together and move apart, but the important thing is that they lead towards the Good.” PeopleKnowsWorldImportantIdeasTogetherMovingImportant ThingsCircles Author:Pope Francis
“Absurd, irreducible; nothing — not even a profound and secret delirium of nature — could explain it. Obviously I did not know everything, I had not seen the seeds sprout, or the tree grow. But faced with this great wrinkled paw, neither ignorance nor knowledge was important: the world of explanations and reasons is not the world of existence. A circle is not absurd, it is clearly explained by the rotation of a straight segment around one of its extremities. But neither does a circle exist. This root, on the other hand, existed in such a way that I could not explain it.” KnowsWorldWayDoeImportantReasonHandsGrowsSecretExistenceTreeIgnoranceRootsProfoundSeedsCirclesAbsurdExplanationPawsDeliriumSproutsExtremityNauseaRotation Author:Jean-Paul Sartre
“Proselytism is solemn nonsense, it makes no sense. We need to get to know each other, listen to each other and improve our knowledge of the world around us. Sometimes after a meeting I want to arrange another one because new ideas are born and I discover new needs. This is important: to get to know people, listen, expand the circle of ideas.

“Every question "runs in a vicious circle" because political life as a whole is an endless chain consisting of an infinite number of links. The whole art of politics lies in finding and taking as firm a grip as we can of the link that is least likely to be struck from our hands, the one that is most important at the given moment, the one that most of all guarantees its possessor the possession of the whole chain.” ArtImportantWholeMomentsHandsRunningPoliticalLyingGivenNumbersFindingsInfinitePossessionCirclesEndlessChainsFirmGuaranteesLinksViciousPolitical LifeVicious Circles Book:What Is to Be Done?

“In some circles where very heavy people think they have very heavy brains, words like "charming" and "clever" and "pretty" are all put-downs; all the lighter things in life, which are the most important things, are put down.” PeopleThinkingImportantBrainImportant ThingsHeavyCirclesCleverThings In LifeCharmingLighters Book:The Philosophy of Andy Warhol: From A to B and Back Again Source: The Philosophy of Andy Warhol: From A to B and Back Again
“What an investor needs is the ability to correctly evaluate selected businesses. Note that word “selected”: You don't have to be an expert on every company, or even many. You only have to be able to evaluate companies within your circle of competence. The size of that circle is not very important; knowing its boundaries, however, is vital.” NeedsImportantAbleAbilityCompanyKnowingNotesSizeCirclesBoundariesExpertsInvestorsCompetenceEvaluateSelected Author:Warren Buffett
