George Gilder
“Even though bitcoin may not, after all, represent the potential for a new gold standard, its underlying technology will unbundle the roles of money. This can finally clarify and enable the necessary distinction between the medium of exchange and the measuring stick. Disaggregated will be all the GAFAM (Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft conglomerates)—the clouds of concentrated computing and commerce.”
George Gilder, Life After Google: The Fall of Big Data and the Rise of the Blockchain Economy

Ivan Turgenev
“If we wait for the moment when everything, absolutely everything is ready, we shall never begin.”
Ivan Turgenev

Charles Darwin
“If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed, which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down. But I can find no such case.”
Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species

John Chrysostom
“[On what young husbands should say to their wives:] I have taken you in my arms, and I love you, and I prefer you to my life itself. For the present life is nothing, and my most ardent dream is to spend it with you in such a way that we may be assured of not being separated in the life reserved for us... I place your love above all things, and nothing would be more bitter or painful to me than to be of a different mind than you.”
John Chrysostom

“What is a committee? A group of the unwilling, picked from the unfit, to do the unnecessary”
