“Not everything that can be counted counts.
Not everything that counts can be counted.”
William Bruce Cameron, Informal Sociology: a casual introduction to sociological thinking

Stephen R. Covey
“Principles are the territory. Values are maps. When we value correct principles, we have truth -- a knowledge of things as they are.”
Stephen R. Covey, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change

Stephen R. Covey
“Independence is an important, even vital, value and achievement. The problem is, we live in an interdependent reality, and our most important accomplishments require interdependency skills well beyond our present abilities.”
Stephen R. Covey, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change

John Fowles
“That perhaps all the stupidity, and the violence and the conformity are just the price of keeping a national energy alive… that day you took me round the Farmer’s Market, just to show me how they’ve bred their fruit and vegetables to fit Madison Avenue notions of what they ought to look like… the heresy that size and looks are everything”
John Fowles, Daniel Martin

Daniel Kahneman
“Mood evidently affects the operation of System 1: when we are uncomfortable and unhappy, we lose touch with our intuition.
These findings add to the growing evidence that good mood, intuition, creativity, gullibility, and increased reliance on System 1 form a cluster. At the other pole, sadness, vigilance, suspicion, an analytic approach, and increased effort also go together. A happy mood loosens the control of System 2 over performance: when in a good mood, people become more intuitive and more creative but also less vigilant and more prone to logical errors.”
Daniel Kahneman, Thinking, Fast and Slow
