“My reading schedule has become butter. I'm being seduced right and left to add books I hadn't even considered. I am a book harlot. A book toting gentleman of the evening.”
Jeffrey Keeten

Brian  Christian
“Don’t always consider all your options. Don’t necessarily go for the outcome that seems best every time. Make a mess on occasion. Travel light. Let things wait. Trust your instincts and don’t think too long. Relax. Toss a coin. Forgive, but don’t forget. To thine own self be true.”
Brian Christian, Algorithms to Live By: The Computer Science of Human Decisions

“In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little, yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face, is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so. But there are times when a critic truly risks something, and that is in the discovery and defense of the *new*.”
Anton Ego

“In the long run, optimism is the best prevention for regret.”
Tom Griffiths, Algorithms to Live By: The Computer Science of Human Decisions

“The greater the uncertainty, the bigger the gap between what you can measure and what matters, the more you should watch out for overfitting - that is, the more you should prefer simplicity”
Tom Griffiths, Algorithms to Live By: The Computer Science of Human Decisions
