Dispatches From Grief is out now.
Dear Jim,
Thank you for sharing as always! Some of my fave quotes this week:
Jean Cocteau:
“Mirrors would do well to reflect a little more before sending back images.”
“One must not mistake majority for truth.”
George Leonard:
“To be a learner, you’ve got to be willing to be a fool.”
“Our preoccupation with goals, results, and the quick fix has separated us from our own experiences.”
Karen Armstrong:
“When you feel compassion, you dethrone yourself from the centre of the world.”
John Maynard Smith:
“You couldn’t have human society without language.”
“Language changes very fast.”
Mark Forsyth:
“So Shakespeare stole; but he did wonderful things with his plunder. He’s like somebody who nicks your old socks and then darns them.”
Balthasar Gracián:
“Every fool stands convinced; and everyone convinced is a fool. The faultier a person’s judgement the firmer their convictions.”
Sinan Aral:
“We tend to believe false information more after repeated exposure to it. People also tend to believe what they already think.”
Thank you for sharing!
