Marjane Satrapi
“To be the mistress of a married man is to have the better role. Do you realize? His dirty shirt, his disgusting underwear, his daily ironing, his bad breath, his hemorrhoid attacks, his fuss, not to mention his bad moods, and his tantrums. Well all that is for his wife.
When a married man comes to his mistress... he's always bleached and ironed, his teeth sparkle, his breath is like perfume, he's in a good mood, he's full of conversation, he is there to have a good time with you.”
Marjane Satrapi, Embroideries

Amaka Imani Nkosazana
“Everything that looks good may not be good for you. In life, we all take chances. You must carefully examine the pros and cons. People often times have certain hidden agendas. And, you might not realize until you're in too deep.”
Amaka Imani Nkosazana, Sweet Destiny

“To sit down means to calm down without rush and fuss, stop and reflect, analyze all pros and cons, count all possible merits and faults”
Sunday Adelaja

Holly Black
“It would be years before she understood the technique he'd used to draw her in. The quicksand of cons, transitioning from having something small on someone to having them over a barrel. You start with blackmail. A little thing, maybe, so long as a person would put in some effort to make it go away. Maybe they would be willing to swipe something for you, fudge some numbers, change a grade, take a little cash out of the till, whatever. But that's when they were sunk. Because if they gave in, they were no longer just hiding whatever their initial indiscretion was, but what they'd done to cover it up. And the more they tried to dig themselves out, the deeper they sank.
There is nothing as instructive for learning how to get someone on the ropes as being put there yourself.”
Holly Black, Book of Night

“The very same fact about a thing can be both the good and the bad thing about it.”

Daniel Defoe
“As for quackery and mountebanks, of which the town was so full, I listened to none of them, and have observed often since, with some wonder, that for two years after the plague I scarcely saw or heard of one of them about town. Some fancied they were all swept away in the infection to a man, and were for calling it a particular mark of God’s vengeance upon them for leading the poor people into the pit of destruction, merely for the lice of a little money they got by them; but I cannot go that length neither. That abundance of them died is certain; many of them came within the reach of my own knowledge; but that all of them were swept off I much question. I believe rather they fled into the country, and tried their practices upon the people there, who were in apprehension of the infection before it came among them.”
Daniel Defoe, A Journal of the Plague Year

Michael Lopp
“You might very well have the requisite players, pros, and cons , but then again, you might have too many. If it’s 30 minutes in and you still can’t figure out what the issue is, it’s time to go: too many issues. Someone who cares more than you needs to distill this chaos down to a coherent statement so the pros and cons can argue about one thing.”
Michael Lopp, Managing Humans: Biting and Humorous Tales of a Software Engineering Manager

Michael Lopp
“The pros are the players who are currently on the winning side of the issue. They’re getting what they want and are not incented to negotiate. They don’t even have to be here, and yet, they’re here and appear willing to listen to the cons, right? Maybe. Maybe they’re just here to watch the cons squirm.”
Michael Lopp, Managing Humans: Biting and Humorous Tales of a Software Engineering Manager

Meeting Bail Tip #5: Figure Out the Issue. Meeting Bail Tip #6: Give the Cons What They Want. Meeting Bail Tip #7: Figure Out the Issue.”
Michael Lopp, Managing Humans: Biting and Humorous Tales of a Software Engineering Manager

“Tell the truth, be cordial and reasonable – put aside the worry of what others will think – and expose the consequences of your act naturally.”
“সত্য বলুন, সৌহার্দ্যপূর্ণ এবং যুক্তিসঙ্গত হোন – অন্যরা কী ভাববে তার উদ্বেগকে একপাশে রাখুন – এবং স্বাভাবিকভাবে আপনার কাজের ফলাফল প্রকাশ করুন।”
