dear jim,
lots of great quotes this week! some of my faves:
Rebecca Solnit:
“Hope locates itself in the premises that we don’t know what will happen and that in the spaciousness of uncertainty is room to act.”
Thomas Szasz:
“In the animal kingdom, the rule is, eat or be eaten; in the human kingdom, define or be defined.”
Søren Kierkegaard:
“There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn’t true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.”
“Take a chance and you may lose. Take not a chance and you have lost already.”
Francis Bacon:
“A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds.”
“Truth is the daughter of time, not of authority.”
Charles Sanders Peirce:
"It is... easy to be certain. One has only to be sufficiently vague."
Samuel Goldwyn:
“Give me a smart idiot over a stupid genius any day.”
Ambrose Bierce:
"To the eye of failure success is an accident."
“Who never doubted, never half believed. Where doubt is, there truth is - it is her shadow.”
