| 337 | quote | Take from Forget How the Crow Flies by John Kay "Obliquity is the idea that goals are often best achieved when pursued indirectly" Emphasis on the means rather than the final product. "Most forest fires are small, and burn themselves out. In doing so, they remove combustible undergrowth, and create firebreaks that limit the spread of future fires." "Time demonstrates, but only slowly, whether policy has gone too far in one direction, or the other." "Henry Ford was sued by stockholders who resented his determination to expand his automotive business rather than distribute the profits. When they won their case, most of dividend that the court required the Ford Motor Company to pay went to Henry himself. He used the money to buy back stock and regain freedom of operations. The dissatisfied stockholders would have done better to keep quiet." "People who are obsessively interested in money are drawn to get-rich-quick schemes rather than to business opportunities." "The quest for hapiness is complementary - by achieving it we make it easier, not harder, for others to achieve the same goal - the development of business is competitive." "The pursuit of hapiness is a strange phrase in the US Constitution because happiness is not best achieved when pursued. A satisfying life depends above all on building good personal relationships with other people - but we entirely miss the point if we seek to develop these relationships with our personal happiness as a primary goal." "This obligue relationship between intention and outcome is the subtle, but frequently misunderstood, message contained in Richard Dawkin's metaphor of the selfish gene. The gene is not actually selfish: the gene has no motive at all, in the sense in which we normally talk about motive. Genes that survive the process of selection are those well adapted to their enviroment, and such adaptation was not the product of any conscious design. And this is also true of the forsts we travel thousands of miles to see, the great capital cities of history, the traditions of classical architecture, and the development of great businesses. All of them are the product of evolution in a universe too complete and unpredictable for any of us to fully understand. All of them survive and prosper because they are well adapted to their enviroment." | 2008-11-26 |

He experiences himself, his thoughts, and feelings, as something separated from the rest—a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”- Albert Einstein | 2008-09-13 |

| 163 | quote | "Three passions have governed my life: The longings for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of [humankind]. Love brings ecstasy and relieves loneliness. In the union of love I have seen in a mystic miniature the prefiguring vision of the heavens that saints and poets have imagined. With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of [people]. I have wished to know why the stars shine. Love and knowledge led upwards to the heavens, but always pity brought me back to earth; Cries of pain reverberated in my heart of children in famine, of victims tortured and of old people left helpless. I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer. This has been my life; I found it worth living." -Bertrand Russell | 2008-09-01 |
