Annie Duke
“What makes a decision great is not that it has a great outcome. A great decision is the result of a good process, and that process must include an attempt to accurately represent our own state of knowledge. That state of knowledge, in turn, is some variation of “I’m not sure.”
Annie Duke, Thinking in Bets: Making Smarter Decisions When You Don't Have All the Facts

Daniel Todd Gilbert
“So what motivates people to work hard every day to do things that will satisfy the economy’s needs but not their own? Like so many thinkers, Smith believed that people want just one thing—happiness—hence economies can blossom and grow only if people are deluded into believing that the production of wealth will make them happy.14 If and only if people hold this false belief will they do enough producing, procuring, and consuming to sustain their economies.”
Daniel M. Gilbert, Stumbling on Happiness

Marie Rutkoski
“When I look at you as if you're crazy it's not that I judge you for your insanity.”
Marie Rutkoski, The Winner's Kiss

Paula Stokes
“There’s nothing abnormal about loneliness.”
Paula Stokes, Hidden Pieces

Sophie Cameron
“Roses aren't any less beautiful because they don't live long. No one looks at them and thinks, man, what a tragedy they'll only be around for a little while. You just appreciate them while they're there. Or if you don't, you're missing the point.”
Sophie Cameron, Out of the Blue
