“Although the drama of games of strategy is strongly linked with the psychological aspects of the conflict, game theory is not concerned with these aspects. Game theory, so to speak, plays the board.

“The full implications of feminism will evolve over time, as we organize, experiment, think, analyze, and revise our ideas and strategies in light of our experiences. No theory emerges in full detail overnight; the dominant theories of our day have expanded and changed over many decades. That it will take time should not discourage us. That we might fail to pursue our ideas - given the enormous need for them in society today - is unconscionable.” ThinkingNeedsShouldIdeasLightMightTodayGivenFailingFeminismChangedTheoryStrategyDetailsDecadesExperimentsEnormousPursueEvolveTake TimeDominantOrganizeImplicationsDiscouragingSociety Today Author:Charlotte Bunch
“Many books on communication are strong on theory but impractical on application. Marshall Rosenberg's instant classic is the stand-out exception.

“We must take the best from the left and the best from the right to devise new strategies for the global twenty-first century. The reluctance of liberal professors to speak out against rampant abuses committed on their side (e.g., suppression of free speech, the excesses of women's studies and French theory) has simply increased the power of the right.” FirstsLeftSpeakSidesStudyCenturyTheorySpeechAbuseTwentiesStrategyCommittedProfessorsExcessFree SpeechSpeaks OutSuppressionReluctance Book:Vamps & Tramps: New Essays Source: Vamps & Tramps: New Essays
“For me the starting point for everything - before strategy, tactics, theories, managing, organizing, philosophy, methodology, talent, or experience - is work ethic.

“A good chaos theory means you have a disciplined strategy behind the scenes of how you're going to roll out policy.
