Strategy Nash Equilibrium

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)

    “Whether elected or appointed
    He considers himself the Lord’s annointed,
    And indeed the ointment lingers on him
    So thick you can’t get your fingers on him.”
    —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)
