"I knew nothing of the Indian Stock Market and this book familiarized me with so so many concepts of trading. Be it valuation based, sentiment based or other compromised frauds/ other factors that influence the stock prices, the books gives due credibility to all of them by basing them in real-life ups and downs of the Indian stock market since late 80s. Can't wait to finish it." — Jun 26, 2020 09:51AM

It’s like waiting for a lift to arrive and when the doors open nothing is there, just the terrible dark emptiness of the elevator shaft, on and on forever.

By their very nature, human beings are so capricious, so complex, so delightfully contradictory, that they deserve not only our consideration, but our reconsideration—and our unwavering determination to withhold our opinion until we have engaged with them in every possible setting at every possible hour.”

“Quantum mechanics extends this relativity in a radical way: all variable aspects of an object exist only in relation to other objects. It is only in interactions that nature draws the world.”

“And of course a man who is much talked about is always very attractive. One feels there must be something in him, after all. I daresay it was foolish of me, but I fell in love with you, Ernest.”
