Groucho Marx
“The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you've got it made.”
Groucho Marx

James Gleick
“If you could write down the solution to a differential equation,” Yorke said, “then necessarily it’s not chaotic, because to write it down, you must find regular invariants, things that are conserved, like angular momentum. You find enough of these things, and that lets you write down a solution. But this is exactly the way to eliminate the possibility of chaos.”
James Gleick, Chaos: Making a New Science

Franz Kafka
“There are two cardinal sins from which all others spring: impatience and laziness. Because of impatience we were driven out of Paradise, because of laziness we cannot return. Perhaps, however, there is only one cardinal sin: impatience. Because of impatience we were driven out, because of impatience we cannot return.”
Franz Kafka, The Zürau Aphorisms

“you don't see something until you have the right metaphor to let you perceive it”
Robert Stetson Shaw

John Kenneth Galbraith
“The only function of economic forecasting is to make astrology look respectable.”
John Kenneth Galbraith
