Favorite Quotations
-
"Essentially, all models are wrong, but some are useful."
--- George E. P. Box (1987)
-
"Models tend to be useful when they are simultaneously simple enough to fit a variety of behaviors and complex enough to fit behaviors that need the help of an explanatory model."
--- Thomas C. Schelling (1978)
-
"You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something – your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. Because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart even when it leads you off the well worn path; and that will make all the difference."
--- Steve Jobs, Stanford Commencement Address (2005)
