Economists often like startling theorems, results which seem to run counter to conventional wisdom.
Joseph E. Stiglitz
» Joseph E. Stiglitz - all quotes »
It has become apparent that art can have a startling impact without really being or saying anything startling — or new. The character itself of being startling, spectacular, or upsetting has become conventionalized, part of safe good taste.
Clement Greenberg
If you're too sloppy, then you never get reproducible results, then you never get reproducible results, and then you never can draw any conclusions; but if you are just a little sloppy, then when you see something startling, (...) you nail it down (...). So I called it the "Principle of Limited Sloppiness".
Max Delbruck
Conventional wisdom is not to put all of your eggs in one basket. 80/20 wisdom is to choose a basket carefully, load all your eggs into it, and then watch it like a hawk.
Richard Koch
It is from the scope and wisdom of the economists of the past that we must reap the knowledge with which to face the future.
Robert Heilbroner
The enemy of the conventional wisdom is not ideas but the march of events.
John Kenneth Galbraith
