“Bastırılmış olan hiçbir zaman bastırıldığı şey olarak, orada öylece keşfedilmeyi bekleyen saf ve sahici bir içerik olarak, gaspedilmiş payını talep eden saf bir yıkıcı enerji olarak geri dönmez. Tersine geri döndüğü yerin ihtiyaçlarıyla şekillenen, başka biçimler altında hep yeniden inşa edilen, yeni kurgulara olduğu kadar politik manevralara ve kışkırtmalara da açık bir şey olarak döner. Bu yüzden geçmişte bastırılmış olan bugün için daima bir mücadele konusudur. Bir başka deyişle bastırılmış olan ne sadece bastırılmıştır ne de tam anlamıyla geri dönmüştür.”

“The formation of bubbles isn't so much about people irrationally participating in long-term investing. They're about people somewhat rationally moving toward short-term trading to capture momentum that had been feeding on itself.”
