    Milton Friedman
    “Well first of all, tell me: Is there some society you know that doesn’t run on greed? You think Russia doesn’t run on greed? You think China doesn’t run on greed? What is greed? Of course, none of us are greedy, it’s only the other fellow who’s greedy. The world runs on individuals pursuing their separate interests. The great achievements of civilization have not come from government bureaus. Einstein didn’t construct his theory under order from a bureaucrat. Henry Ford didn’t revolutionize the automobile industry that way. In the only cases in which the masses have escaped from the kind of grinding poverty you’re talking about, the only cases in recorded history, are where they have had capitalism and largely free trade. If you want to know where the masses are worse off, worst off, it’s exactly in the kinds of societies that depart from that. So that the record of history is absolutely crystal clear, that there is no alternative way so far discovered of improving the lot of the ordinary people that can hold a candle to the productive activities that are unleashed by the free-enterprise system.”
    Milton Friedman

    Milton Friedman
    “Now here's somebody who wants to smoke a marijuana cigarette. If he's caught, he goes to jail. Now is that moral? Is that proper? I think it's absolutely disgraceful that our government, supposed to be our government, should be in the position of converting people who are not harming others into criminals, of destroying their lives, putting them in jail. That's the issue to me. The economic issue comes in only for explaining why it has those effects. But the economic reasons are not the reasons”
    Milton Friedman

    “Nothing is so permanent as a temporary government program.”
    Milton Friedman

    Milton Friedman
    “The great virtue of a free market system is that it does not care what color people are; it does not care what their religion is; it only cares whether they can produce something you want to buy. It is the most effective system we have discovered to enable people who hate one another to deal with one another and help one another.”
    Milton Friedman

    Milton Friedman
    “Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself.”
    Milton Friedman

    Дамян Дамянов
    “Догде съм жив, през сипеи и пъкъл
    ще търся Щастието! То боли!
    На Щастието името е Мъка!
    Без мъка няма Щастие, нали?”
    Дамян Дамянов, Живей, измислице любов

    Дамян Дамянов
    “Когато си на дъното на пъкъла,
    когато си най-тъжен, най-злочест,
    от парещите въглени на мъката
    си направи сам стълба и излез.

    Когато от безпътица премазан си
    и си зазидан в четири стени,
    от всички свои пътища прерязани
    нов път си направи и пак тръгни.

    Светът когато мръкне пред очите ти
    и притъмнява в тези две очи,
    сам слънце си създай и от лъчите му
    с последния до него се качи.

    Трънлив и сляп е на живота ребусът,
    на кръст разпъва нашите души.
    Загубил всичко, не загубвай себе си –
    единствено така ще го решиш!”
    Дамян Дамянов

    Дамян Дамянов
    “ЧУДО
    Грозното момиче се събуди
    малко по-красиво заранта.
    Някакъв човек незнаен, чуден,
    беше го прегръщал през нощта.
    Грозното бе станало красиво,
    тихо се усмихна на деня.
    Не изми лицето си щастливо,
    за да не измие и съня...”
    Дамян Дамянов

    Joseph Schumpeter

    George Orwell
    “So long as they (the Proles) continued to work and breed, their other activities were without importance. Left to themselves, like cattle turned loose upon the plains of Argentina, they had reverted to a style of life that appeared to be natural to them, a sort of ancestral pattern...Heavy physical work, the care of home and children, petty quarrels with neighbors, films, football, beer and above all, gambling filled up the horizon of their minds. To keep them in control was not difficult.”
    George Orwell, 1984

    William Golding
    “I think women are foolish to pretend they are equal to men, they are far superior [to men] and always have been.”

    Димитър Димов
    “Ако изпушиш три цигари, четвъртата ще ти се стори безвкусна. Ако прекараш две нощи в любов, третата ще те отегчи. А нейните цигари и нейната любов от десет години насам бяха едни и същи!”
    Димитър Димов, Тютюн

    Martin Fowler
    “Any fool can write code that a computer can understand. Good programmers write code that humans can understand.”

    George R.R. Martin
    “... a mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone, if it is to keep its edge.”
    George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones

    “Изхвърлете баласта зад борда! Нека лодката ви в живота да бъде лека и да носи само онова, което ви е нужно - уютен дом и прости удоволствия, двама-трима приятели, достойни за това име, едного, когото да обичате и който да ви обича, една котка, едно куче, една-две лули, храна и облекло дотолкова, доколкото са необходими, но малко повечко за пиене, защото жаждата е опасно нещо.
    Ще видите, че тогава лодката върви по-леко и не може тъй лесно да се обърне, а обърне ли се, бедата няма да е голяма - добрата и здрава стока не се бои от вода. Ще имате време и за работа, и за размисъл - време да се опивате от слънцето на живота и да слушате соловата музика, която божественият вятър извлича от струните на човешките сърца край нас, време да...”
    Джером К. Джером

    Джон Стейнбек
    “С цялата си несигурност, в едно съм сигурен: под най-горният пласт на своята слабохарактерност хората искат да бъдат добри и да ги обичат. Повечето им пороци практически са опит да стигнат по най-късия път до обичта. Стигне ли човек до смъртта, нищо, че е бил може би способен, с влияние, гениален, умира ли необичан, животът му положително изглежда провал, а самата смърт - смразяващ ужас. И ми се струва, че ако вие или аз трябва да избираме между два пътя на мисълта и действието, длъжни сме да помним, че ще умрем, следователно нека се опитаме да живеем така, че нашата смърт да не носи облекчение на света.”
    Джон Стайнбек
