“Forecasts may tell you a great deal about the forecaster; they tell you nothing about the future.”

“There are some people who, if they don't already know, you can't tell them.As the great philosopher of uncertainty Yogi berra once said, "Don't waste your time trying to fight forecasters, stock analysts, economists and social scientists, except to play pranks on them.”

“If there is a mutual distrust between the weather forecaster and the public, the public may not listen when they need to most.”

“A photograph of a woman crying tells me nothing about grief. Or a photograph of a woman ecstatic tells me nothing about ecstasy. What is the nature of these emotions? The problem with photography is that it only deals with appearances.”

“Pyscho-history dealt not with man, but with man-masses. It was the science of mobs; mobs in their billions. It could forecast reactions to stimuli with something of the accuracy that a lesser science could bring to the forecast of a rebound of a billiard ball. The reaction of one man could be forecast by no known mathematics; the reaction of a billion is something else again.”

“Despite the forecast, live like it's spring.”
