- Reading between the lines
I thought about my "contribution" to the logistics problem and realized that a man like the guy who orders the stuff for Christmas at Macy's would be better able to figure out how to handle problems like that than I. So I concluded: a) if I had made an important contribution, it was sheer luck; b) anybody else could have done as well, but most people could have done better, and c) this flattery should wake me up to the fact that I am not capable of contributing much.

- Valuation of fine art
You ought to triple its price. With art, nobody is really sure of its value, so people often think, 'If the price is higher, it must be more valuable!'
