The curse of knowledge is that it closes our minds to what we don't know. Good judgment depends on having the skill-and the will-to open our minds. I'm pretty confident that in life, rethinking is an in- creasingly important habit. Of course, I might be wrong. If I am, I'll be quick to think again.

And how will countries fare in the Fourth Globalization? Ever since the days of David Ricardo, two centuries ago, economists have taught that countries should specialize in those activities they perform most efficiently and import the rest. But “comparative advantage,” already suspect because of the role of subsidies in influencing the pattern of trade in goods, is all but meaningless in the digital age, as it becomes steadily more challenging to figure out how much of a product’s value was added in one place and how much in another. The balance of trade, then, has become a useless measure for tracking winners and losers, an idea whose time has come and gone. A country’s success in the Fourth Globalization will depend not on whether the statisticians compute a surplus or a deficit, but on whether its citizens’ living standards rise as they navigate a fast-changing world economy—and whether it ensures that the benefits of a globalized world are shared widely among its citizens.
Winston Churchill'in o meşhur konuşması:
We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.
“If you know, why don’t you act?” she asks with genuine curiosity as if all of this is too easy.
“I can’t do an arranged marriage when I already have someone else in my heart.”
“That’s why it’s better to have no one in your heart. Those who show weakness lose.”
“It depends on who you show that weakness to, Teal.”

'are you alone?'
'no.'
'don't tell me. i know who it is. stands to reason he'd help you.' even at a distance, the appalling parody of lockwood's voice was clear. ' "what? a suicidal mission, you say, lucy? certain death, you say? just what i enjoy. sign me up!" well, all the better if it is lockwood. you can sacrifice him to rescue me. i call that a very decent swap.'
