Timothy Ferriss
“When his company grew and he ran out of time to interview people himself, he had his employees rate new candidates on a 1–10 scale. The only stipulation was they couldn’t choose 7. It immediately dawned on me how many invitations I was receiving that I would rate as a 7—speeches, weddings, coffees, even dates. If I thought something was a 7, there was a good chance I felt obligated to do it. But if I have to decide between a 6 or an 8, it’s a lot easier to quickly determine whether or not I should even consider it.”
Timothy Ferriss, Tribe Of Mentors: Transformative Wisdom From Icons and Innovators to Help You Navigate Life's Challenges

Mary Gabriel
“We Will Never Die”—occurred at that same location. One hundred thousand people attended, among them Supreme Court judges, cabinet ministers, three hundred congressmen, senators, diplomats, and first lady Eleanor Roosevelt.55 The groundswell witnessed in New York had taken years to build: ten years since Hitler had come to power and begun persecuting his people, five years since the world had stood shocked at the sight and sound of Kristallnacht. The crowds in Manhattan vowed not to forget. But many, many others would continue to ignore what was too horrible to contemplate, at least until the killing had stopped. Then they would comfort themselves by repeating like a mantra, “We didn’t know.” The truth was, they did.”
Mary Gabriel, Ninth Street Women: Lee Krasner, Elaine de Kooning, Grace Hartigan, Joan Mitchell, and Helen Frankenthaler: Five Painters and the Movement That Changed Modern Art
