“We must repeat: memory, thought, language, and logic are essential to human life. They are one half of sanity. But a person, a society, which is only half sane is insane. To look at life without words is not to lose the ability to form words—to think, remember, and plan. To be silent is not to lose your tongue. On the contrary, it is only through silence that one can discover something new to talk about. One who talked incessantly, without stopping to look and listen, would repeat himself ad nauseam.”
― Alan W. Watts, The Wisdom of Insecurity

“The point, then, is that when we try to understand the present by comparing it with memories, we do not understand it as deeply as when we are aware of it without comparison.”
― Alan W. Watts, The Wisdom of Insecurity

“Când m-a luat în gazdă, tanti mi-a zis că o să-mi fie mamă.
- Dar am deja.
- Și unde e, că n-o văd.
- E ea pe undeva...
- Păi, așa și despre mine ai putea să spui că am copil, dar unde e...”

“Buying something for less than its value. In my opinion, this is what it’s all about—the most dependable way to make money. Buying at a discount from intrinsic value and having the asset’s price move toward its value doesn’t require serendipity; it just requires that market participants wake up to reality. When the market’s functioning properly, value exerts a magnetic pull on price.”
