Nassim Nicholas Taleb
“You get pseudo-order when you seek order; you only get a measure of order and control when you embrace randomness.”
Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Antifragile: Things That Gain From Disorder

Nassim Nicholas Taleb
“The chief ethical rule is the following: Thou shalt not have antifragility at the expense of the fragility of others.”
Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Antifragile: Things That Gain From Disorder

Nassim Nicholas Taleb
“Further, my characterization of a loser is someone who, after making a mistake, doesn’t introspect, doesn’t exploit it, feels embarrassed and defensive rather than enriched with a new piece of information, and tries to explain why he made the mistake rather than moving on. These types often consider themselves the “victims” of some large plot, a bad boss, or bad weather.”
Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Antifragile: Things That Gain From Disorder

Nassim Nicholas Taleb
“This is the tragedy of modernity: as with neurotically overprotective parents, those trying to help are often hurting us the most.”
Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Antifragile: Things That Gain From Disorder

Gregory David Roberts
“No smile would work, no goodbye would pray, no kindness would save, if the truth inside us wasn’t beautiful. And the true heart of us, our human kind, is that we’re connected, at our best, by purities of love found in no other creature.”
Gregory David Roberts, The Mountain Shadow
