Steven D. Levitt
“For emotion is the enemy of rational argument.”
Steven D. Levitt, Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything

Esther Perel
“Sometimes, when we seek the gaze of another, it isn’t our partner we are turning away from, but the person we have become. We are not looking for another lover so much as another version of ourselves.”
Esther Perel, The State of Affairs: Rethinking Infidelity

Esther Perel
“Our partners do not belong to us; they are only on loan, with an option to renew—or not. Knowing that we can lose them does not have to undermine commitment; rather, it mandates an active engagement that long-term couples often lose. The realization that our loved ones are forever elusive should jolt us out of complacency, in the most positive sense.”
Esther Perel, The State of Affairs: Rethinking Infidelity

Steven D. Levitt
“Social scientists sometimes talk about the concept of "identity". It is the idea that you have a particular vision of the kind of person you are, and you feel awful when you do things that are out of line with that vision.”
Steven D. Levitt, Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything

Steven D. Levitt
“When a woman does not want to have a child, she usually has good reason. She may be unmarried or in a bad marriage. She may consider herself too poor to raise a child. She may think her life is too unstable or unhappy, or she may think that her drinking or drug use will damage the baby’s health. She may believe that she is too young or hasn’t yet received enough education. She may want a child badly but in a few years, not now. For any of a hundred reasons, she may feel that she cannot provide a home environment that is conducive to raising a healthy and productive child.”
Steven D. Levitt, Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything
