Quotes
- "Science is mere speculation, mere formulation of conjecture." Nassim Taleb, "Fooled by Randomness", p.128. (although this slightly misses the fact that the other part of science is finding evidence to disprove the speculation, so might be more precisely formulated as "Science is the falsification of conjecture"). However, science is certainly not "truth" as in the nefarious sound byte "science is truth," which is probably the most untrue statement that can be made about science.
- "Maximum remedium irae mora est." Latin proverb, translation: "The greatest remedy for anger is delay."
- "When you have to shoot, shoot! Don't talk." -- Eli Wallach as Tuco Ramírez in The Good, The Bad and the Ugly, 1966.
- "In this [the Platonic] view, '2+2=4' is genuine knowledge, but such a statement as 'snow is white' is so full of ambiguity and uncertainty that it cannot find a place in the philosopher's corpus of truths" -- Bertrand Russell, A History of Western Philosophy, 1945, p.149.
- "You cannot tickle yourself even if you have swapped bodies with someone else" -- Jakob Hohwy, The Predictive Mind, OUP, 2013, p.84.
- "It's the human element and long may it live." -- Doc Emrick, May 13 2018 commentating a bad high sticking call on Oshie vs. Hedman.
- "C'est parce que les agents ne savent jamais complètement ce qu'ils font que ce qu'ils font a plus de sens qu'ils ne le savent" -- Pierre Bourdieu, Le Sens Pratique, Les Editions de Minuit, p116, 1980. ("It is because agents never know completely what they are doing that what they do has more sense than they know" The Logic of Practice, Polity Press, p69, 1990).
- "Nay, it is chiefly from this regard to the sentiments of mankind, that we pursue riches and avoid poverty." -- Adam Smith, The Theory of Moral Sentiments, 1759.
- "Let's get this Boeing going!" -- Stewardess on Westjet flight 556 from Calgary, Oct 24, 2015
- "You must sleep some time between lunch and dinner, and no half-way measures. Take off your clothes and get into bed. That's what I always do. " -- Winston Churchill, 1946.
