Famous quotes containing the words strategy, nash and/or equilibrium:

    “... the generation of the 20’s was truly secular in that it still knew its theology and its varieties of religious experience. We are post-secular, inventing new faiths, without any sense of organizing truths. The truths we accept are so multiple that honesty becomes little more than a strategy by which you manage your tendencies toward duplicity.”
    —Ann Douglas (b. 1942)

    “Life has a tendency to obfuscate and bewilder,
    Such as fating us to spend the first part of our lives
    being embarrassed by our parents and the last part
    being embarrassed by our childer.”
    —Ogden Nash (1902–1971)

    “They who feel cannot keep their minds in the equilibrium of a pair of scales: fear and hope have no equiponderant weights.”
    —Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
