Quotes by Sam Ladner  (?)

“The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it. The Matrix, 1999”
Sam Ladner, Mixed Methods: A short guide to applied mixed methods research

“In his summary of mixed methods, Bryman (2006) outlines five methodological reasons for mixing methods:  1. Complementarity: deepen or enhance other data 2. Expansion: expanding the inquiry to ask different questions 3. Development: use one method to inform and improve the other 4. Triangulation: corroboration of earlier data 5. Initiation: resolving earlier contradictory findings”
Sam Ladner, Mixed Methods: A short guide to applied mixed methods research

“Having such dry-run experiences will prepare your stakeholders for the reactions they might have,”
Sam Ladner, Mixed Methods: A short guide to applied mixed methods research

“A good idea is a network. A specific constellation of neurons—thousands of them—fire in sync with each other for the first time in your brain, and an idea pops into your consciousness.”
Steven Johnson, Where Good Ideas Come From

“The receptivity of the artist must never be confused with passivity.”
Rollo May, The Courage to Create

“The former morality, namely Kant’s, demanded of the individual actions which one desired of all men: that was a very naive thing;”
Friedrich Nietzsche, A Nietzsche Reader

“absolute reality has predominantly the character of irregularity.”
C.G. Jung, The Undiscovered Self/Symbols and the Interpretation of Dreams

“Slavery and rebellion are inseparable correlates. Hence, rivalry for power and exaggerated distrust pervade the entire organism from top to bottom.”
C.G. Jung, The Undiscovered Self/Symbols and the Interpretation of Dreams
