“There were far worse strategies in life than to try to make each aspect of one's existence a minor work of art.”
“One must give value to their existence by behaving as if ones very existence were a work of art.”
“The monsters of the mind are far worse than those that actually exist.”
“And art exists that one may recover the sensation of life; it exists to make one feel things, to make the stone stony.”
“Managers tend to pick a strategy that is the least likely to fail, rather then to pick a strategy that is most efficient," Said Palmer. " The pain of looking bad is worse than the gain of making the best move.”
“You could say my book is the best book ever (or worst book ever), and it wouldn’t make it any better (or worse) than it is. All art exists outside and beyond criticism.”
