G. Michael Hopf
“Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times.”
G. Michael Hopf, Those Who Remain

Nassim Nicholas Taleb
“Difficulty is what wakes up the genius”
Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder

Donella H. Meadows
“If a factory is torn down but the rationality which produced it is left standing, then that rationality will simply produce another factory. If a revolution destroys a government, but the systematic patterns of thought that produced that government are left intact, then those patterns will repeat themselves. . . . There’s so much talk about the system. And so little understanding. —ROBERT PIRSIG, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance”
Donella H. Meadows, Thinking in Systems: A Primer

Julio Cortázar
“Piensa en ésto, cuando te regalan un reloj te regalan algo que es tuyo pero que no es tu cuerpo, que hay que atar a tu cuerpo con su correa como un bracito desesperado colgándose de tu muñeca. Te regalan la necesidad de darle cuerda todos los días, te regalan el miedo de perderlo, de que te lo roben, de que se te caiga al suelo y se rompa. Te regalan la tendencia a comparar un reloj con los demás relojes... no te regalan un reloj, tú eres el regalado.”
Julio Cortázar

Nassim Nicholas Taleb
“I am, at the Fed level, libertarian;
at the state level, Republican;
at the local level, Democrat;
and at the family and friends level, a socialist.
If that saying doesn’t convince you of the fatuousness of left vs. right labels, nothing will.”
Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Skin in the game
