• Everyone loves his own country, customs, language, wife, children, not because they are the best in the world, but because they are his established property, and he loves in them himself, and the labor he has bestowed on them. The working of revolutions, therefore, misleads me no more; it is as necessary to our race as its waves to the stream, that it may not be a stagnant marsh. Ever renewed in its forms, the genius of humanity blossoms.

  Johann Gottfried Herder

• We think we know that chimpanzees are higher animals and earthworms are lower, we think we've always known what that means, and we think evolution makes it even clearer. But it doesn't. It is by no means clear that it means anything at all. Or if it means anything, it means so many different things to be misleading, even pernicious.

• Dad always warned that it was misleading when one imagined people, when one sas them in the Mind's Eye, because one never remembered them as they really were, with as many inconsistencies as there were hairs on a human head (100,000 to 200,000). Instead, the mind used a lazy shorthand, smoothed the person over into their most dominating characteristic--their pessimism or insecurity (something really being lazy, turning them into either Nice or Mean)--and one made the mistake of judging them from this basis alone and risked, on a subsequent encounter, being dangerously surprised.

• ¿Cómo ha podido ser tan precipitado el desplome de Digital? Porque, en muchos sentidos, los datos de rendimiento financiero son engañosos. A medida que se asciende en el mercado, se eliminan los productos menos rentables de la gama baja y se añaden negocios con márgenes más atractivos en la gama alta. La tasa de crecimiento del volumen de unidades puede disminuir a medida que se persiguen estos mercados más pequeños, pero los márgenes parecen mejores. Así que Wall Street recompensa el precio de tus acciones hasta que tocas techo.

• In the creative process, my ego has always been a huge tyrant ... a dictator and kind of rude and very misleading, because sometimes when I'm doing something, I say, "This is great! This is fantastic! Very genius!" And 20 minutes later, I feel like a dead jellyfish. "You are a stupid a**hole. This is a piece of sh*t. Nobody will care about it."

• La televisión está alterando el significado de "estar informado" al crear una especie de información que podría llamarse desinformación. Desinformación no significa información falsa. Significa información engañosa -información fuera de lugar, irrelevante, fragmentada o superficial-, información que crea la ilusión de saber algo, pero que en realidad nos aleja del conocimiento.

• Jedi do not fight for peace. That's only a slogan, and is as misleading as slogans always are. Jedi fight for civilization, because only civilization creates peace. We fight for justice because justice is the fundamental bedrock of civilization: an unjust civilization is built upon sand. It does not long survive a storm.

• The adult must seem to mislead the child, and the Master the dog. They misread the signs. Their ignorance and their wishes twist everything. You are so sure you know what the promise promised! And the danger is that when what He means by ‘wind’ appears you will ignore it because it is not what you thought it would be—as He Himself was rejected because He was not like the Messiah the Jews had in mind.
