“To succeed in life, you need two things: ignorance and confidence.”
― Mark Twain

“Numbers, like language, are both a crutch and a filter.
They seem to help at first. They seem to describe the world in an accurate way. But in the end all they really do is distort what is right in front of you.”
― Christopher Schwarz, The Anarchist's Tool Chest

“Death and disaster are at our shoulders every second of our lives, trying to get at us. Missing, a lot of the time. A lot of miles on the motorway without a front wheel blow-out. A lot of viruses that slither through our bodies without snagging. A lot of pianos that fall a minute after we've passed. Or a month, it makes no difference. So unless we're going to get down on our knees and give thanks every time disaster misses, it makes no sense to moan when it strikes.”
― Hugh Laurie, The Gun Seller

“Those people who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do.”
― Isaac Asimov
