“Даже самые точные описательные статистики могут стать жертвой более фундаментальной проблемы: недостаточной ясности того, что именно мы пытаемся определить, описать или объяснить. У статистических рассуждений и доказательств очень много общего с неудачными браками: участники дискуссии просто не понимают друг друга.”

“В бизнесе популярен такой афоризм: «Вы не можете управлять тем, что не в состоянии измерить». И это действительно так. Однако вы должны быть твердо уверены в следующем: то, что вы измеряете, действительно является тем, чем вы пытаетесь управлять.”
― Чарльз Уилан, Голая статистика: Самая интересная книга о самой скучной науке

“Things go wrong more often than they go right. Failure is actually a natural—even crucial—element of a healthy economy. And the people who are willing to acknowledge that fact can make a hell of a lot of money.”
― Scott Fearon, Dead Companies Walking: How a Hedge Fund Manager Finds Opportunity in Unexpected Places

Rex Stout
“The avoidance of idiocy should be the primary and constant concern of every intelligent person," - Nero Wolfe”
― Rex Stout

Michael   Lewis
“He was ignorant, but a lot of people mistook ignorance for stupidity, and knowingness for intelligence.”
― Michael Lewis, The Blind Side

“people in management positions, even very senior management positions, are often completely wrong about the fortunes of their own companies. More important, in making these misjudgments, they almost always err on the side of excessive optimism. They think their businesses are in much better shape than they actually are. Jerry’s rig utilization chart at Global Marine and our own CFO’s boasts about Joe DiMaggio only underscored this lesson for me at the time. And, three decades and over 1,400 meetings with other executives later, I can say this tendency is as pronounced as ever.”
― Scott Fearon, Dead Companies Walking: How a Hedge Fund Manager Finds Opportunity in Unexpected Places
