Slow thinking has the feeling of something you do. It's deliberate.

The confidence people have in their beliefs is not a measure of the quality of evidence but of the coherence of the story the mind has managed to construct.

This is the essence of intuitive heuristics: when faced with a difficult question, we often answer an easier one instead, usually without noticing the substitution.

The idea that the future is unpredictable is undermined every day by the ease with which the past is explained.

Many ideas happen to us. We have intuition, we have feeling, we have emotion, all of that happens, we don't decide to do it. We don't control it.

By their very nature, heuristic shortcuts will produce biases, and that is true for both humans and artificial intelligence, but the heuristics of AI are not necessarily the human ones.

If Frank Sinatra is singing, maybe everything will go good.

My best way of making someone admit to something's wrongness is to have them imagine that thing done to them. Suddenly then it all becomes clear.

How many times we have picked up in the streets human beings who had been living like animals and were longing to die like angels!

I love you, not just for now, but for always, and I dream of the day that you’ll take me in your arms again.

Having George W. Bush giving a lecture on business ethics is like having a leper give you a facial, it just doesn't work!
