3. "Winter denial: therein lay the key to California Schadenfreude--the secret joy that the rest of the country feels at the misfortune of California. The country said: "Look at them, with their fitness and their tans, their beaches and their movie stars, their Silicon Valley and silicone breasts, their orange bridge and their palm trees.

If you're shoveling silt out of your basement in the Fargo flood zone, nothing brightens your day like watching a Malibu mansion tumbling down a cliff into the sea. And if a tornado just peppered the land around your Oklahoma town with random trailer trash and redneck nuggets, then you can find a quantum of solace in the fact that the earth actually opened up in the San Fernando Valley and swallowed a whole caravan of commuting SUVs."
Author: Christopher Moore

Author: James Chanos

8. "Es wäre denkbar, dass der Mensch ganz ohne Tanz auskommt.Man kennt Beispiele von jungen Leuteb, die viele, viele Monate lang keinerlei Tanzereimitgemacht haben, ohne, dass ihnen daraus greufbarer Schaden an Leib und Seele erwachsen wäre; Ist aber einmal der Anfang gemacht, hat man nur ein Mal - sei's auch nur flüchtig - die Seeligkeit beschwingter Bewegung erlebt, so muss einer schon ein recht schwerblütiger Tropfsein, wenn ihn nicht nach mehr verlangt."

To say our predictions are no worse than the experts' is to damn ourselves with some awfully faint praise. Prediction does play a particularly important role in science, however. Some of you may be uncomfortable with a premise that I have been hinting at and will now state explicitly: we can never make perfectly objective predictions. They will always be tainted by our subjective point of view."
Author: Nate Silver

Author: Noam Chomsky

16. "I often find myself worrying about celebrities. It's an entirely caring thing; it's not like the people who commission those photographs with cruel arrows to go on the covers of the celebrity magazines.

He mocks me, but from him, it seems a kindness. He makes me feel, well, important. That he could choose me to talk to."

He had a bluff heartiness to him that I enjoyed, an attitude that things must be going well unless someone ahd told him otherwise."
Author: Robin Hobb
