“This notion that man can, and should, have absolute dominion over the "chaotic" powers of nature and woman...is what ultimately lies behind man's famous "conquest of nature" - a conquest that is today puncturing holes in the earth's ozone layer, destroying our forests, polluting our air and water, and increasingly threatening the welfare, and even survival, of thousands of living species, including our own.” MenShouldTodayEarthLyingWaterLossBehindsAirSurvivalShould HaveAbsolutesSpeciesNotionIncludingDisasterHolesForestsWelfareDestroyingLayersThreateningConquestDominionChaoticAir And WaterOzonePower Of NatureOzone Layer Author:Riane Eisler
“While no one wishes to incur losses, you couldn't prove it from an examination of the behavior of most investors and speculators. The speculative urge that lies within most of us is strong; the prospect of a free lunch can be compelling, especially when others have already seemingly partaken. It can be hard to concentrate on potential losses while others are greedily reaching for gains and your broker is on the phone offering shares in the latest "hot" initial public offering. Yet the avoidance of loss is the surest way to ensure a profitable outcome.” WayHardLyingStrongWishLossShareProveBehaviorGainsHotPhonesOutcomesReachingUrgesLunchInvestorsOfferingCompellingInitialsProfitableExaminationAvoidanceProve ItBrokersSpeculatorsFree Lunch Author:Seth Klarman

“I think the difference between a lie and a story is that a story utilizes the trappings and appearance of truth for the interest of the listener as well as of the teller. A story has in it neither gain nor loss. But a lie is a device for profit or escape. I suppose if that definition is strictly held to, then a writer of stories is a liar - if he is financially fortunate.” IfsThinkingWellsStoriesLyingInterestDifferencesLossGainsDefinitionsProfitAppearanceFortunateDevicesLiarsListenersEast Of Eden Book:East of Eden Source: East of Eden
