“The mind cannot foresee its own advance.” — Friedrich August von Hayek Quote

“The mind cannot foresee its own advance.”

“To act on the belief that we possess the knowledge and the power which enable us to shape the processes of society entirely to our liking, knowledge which in fact we do not possess, is likely to make us do much harm.”

“I regard it in fact as the great advantage of the mathematical technique that it allows us to describe, by means of algebraic equations, the general character of a pattern even where we are ignorant of the numerical values which will determine its particular manifestation.”

“Thinking is more interesting than knowing, but less interesting than looking.”

“I'm 27. I feel like I get it. I'm OK with being sexy if I feel like it. Some days I'm brainy, some days I'm funny, some days I'm sexy, and sometimes, I just want to dance.”

“If kids and teenagers can get into a band, it's probably not because they think it's brainy.”
