Anatol Rapoport
The outstanding feature of behavior is that it is often quite easy to recognize but extremely difficult or impossible to describe with precision.
Rapoport quotes
On the question of whether a behavioral science can in principle be constructed, we shall take no sides. That some kinds of human behavior can be described and even predicted in terms of objectively verifiable and quantifiable data seems to us to have been established.
Rapoport
To gain knowledge, we must learn to ask the right questions; and to get answers, we must act, not wait for answers to occur to us.




Rapoport Anatol quotes
One cannot play chess if one becomes aware of the pieces as living souls and of the fact that the Whites and the Blacks have more in common with each other than with the players. Suddenly one loses all interest in who will be champion.
