This is a bunch of interesting quotes I’ve collected over the past few months. Maybe they are connected to each other, and maybe they are not:<\/p>\n

\nThe market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent
\n – John Maynard Keynes\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Source: Wikipedia<\/a>. See also this relevant article, about the US government bailout<\/a> of financial institutions in September 2008.<\/p>\n

Quotes of Kenneth Boundling, economist, which sound strangely more relevant after the global financial meltdown: <\/p>\n

Mathematics brought rigor to Economics. Unfortunately, it also brought mortis<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Nothing fails like success because we don’t learn from it. We learn only from failure.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nSwitching a little:<\/p>\n

\nThere you have it. Admiration for raw, undirected cleverness winning over a questioning of fundamental importance. I wish there\u2019d been someone in the room like Fight Club\u2019s Tyler Durden (played by Brad Pitt), who responds to a smart remark by Edward Norton\u2019s narrator character with, “Clever. How\u2019s that working out for you, being clever?”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But let’s not worry so much about the crisis. Paul Graham points out that now is the best time to start a startup. However, many people think of doing startups, but not are not willing to quit their current job yet:<\/p>\n

People wish to learn to swim and at the same time to keep one foot on the ground.
\n– Marcel Proust\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But where do ideas for startups come from? Proust again: <\/p>\n

The only real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Enough about money. Let’s focus on love and happiness. Here’s Proust again:<\/p>\n

Let us leave pretty women to men devoid of imagination.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nWe only really think when distressed, we shouldn’t worry about striving for happiness so much as “pursuing ways to be properly and productively unhappy.”
\n– Publisher’s Review weekly paraphrasing Proust\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
