“The reality is that financial markets are self-destabilizing; occasion...” — George Soros Quote

The reality is that financial markets are self-destabilizing; occasionally they tend toward disequilibrium, not equilibrium.

Once we realize that imperfect understanding is the human condition there is no shame in being wrong, only in failing to correct our mistakes.

History is a story.

Well, you know, I was a human being before I became a businessman.

I'm not doing my philanthropic work, out of any kind of guilt, or any need to create good public relations. I'm doing it because I can afford to do it, and I believe in it.

Fortunately, there is a sane equilibrium in the character of nations, as there is in that of men.

I like to be sad once in a while. You need it for your equilibrium.

But I have vertigo... I lose my equilibrium easily. I can lean out to look at something and just keep leaning and not realize I'm about to fall.

When things were not going right for me, writing was the only thing that kept my equilibrium right, it has always been a do-it thing when I feel sad or lonely or low.

And so The Snow Queen also became a story about the need to seek equilibrium, in our own lives, with the natural world, even within the universe at large.
