“The primary mode of experiencing images is non-verbal... but once it's brought out into the light of the day, what's understood by the subconscious intuitive mind can be better grasped by the conscious rational mind. Aligning the two produces powerful results.” MindTwoLightResultsPowerfulPowerProduceConsciousUnderstoodRationalPrimariesSubconsciousIntuitive Author:John Paul Caponigro
“Logic, too, also rests on assumptions that do not correspond to anything in the real world, e.g., on the assumption that there areequal things, that the same thing is identical at different points in time: but this science arose as a result of the opposite belief (that such things actually exist in the real world). And it is the same with mathematics, which would certainly never have arisen if it had been understood from the beginning that there is no such thing in nature as a perfectly straight line, a true circle, and absolute measure.” IfsWorldDifferentRealBeliefLinesResultsUnderstoodLogicOppositesAbsolutesMathematicsEqualityCirclesAssumptionReal WorldIdenticalStraight Lines Author:Friedrich Nietzsche

“People would be a lot more skeptical if they understood that there is an incredible amount of chance in the results that you observe for active managers. So the distribution of outcomes is enormously wide - but that's exactly what you'd expect by chance with lots of active managers who hold imperfectly diversified portfolios. The really good portfolios contain a lot of really lucky picks, and the really bad portfolios contain a lot of really unlucky picks as well as some really bad ones.” PeopleIfsWellsWould BeChanceResultsAmountLuckyPicksUnderstoodIncrediblesInvestingActiveWideManagersOutcomesDistributionSkepticalUnluckyPortfolios Author:Eugene Fama
“Fashionable women regard themselves, and are regarded by men, as pretty toys or as mere instruments of pleasure; and the vacuity of mind, the heartlessness, the frivolity which is the necessary result of this false and debasing estimate of women, can only be fully understood by those who have mingled in the folly and wickedness of fashionable life.” MenMindHeartPleasureResultsUnderstoodRegardInstrumentsMereFollyToysWickednessFashionableFrivolityVacuityHeartlessness Author:Sarah Moore Grimke

“I have never understood why they tried to start the revolution by taking over the universities. It should have been self-evident that the net result of success would be to close the universities but leave the nation unaffected--at least, for quite a long time. Nor do I find it easy to believe that the rebels, as intelligent as most of them were, seriously expected that they could keep the universities alive as corporate bodies, once they had control of them, if they made the fundamental alterations in organization and role that they proposed to.” IfsShouldBelieveLongHas BeensMadeSelfBodyWould BeNationsEasyResultsRolesAliveRevolutionLong TimeUnderstoodShould HaveOrganizationIntelligentFundamentalsUniversityExpectedCorporateRebelEvidentShould Have BeenAlterations Author:Muriel Beadle
