"Everything revolves around the fork."

Howard Lyman

“Give government the weapons to fight your enemy and it will use them against you.”
“If you invest and don't diversify, you're literally throwing out money. People don't realize that diversification is beneficial even if it reduces your return. Why? Because it reduces your risk even more. Therefore, if you diversify and then use margin to increase your leverage to a risk level equivalent to that of a nondiversified position, your return will probably be greater.”
“People used to think I was just a shouty comic but I was doing stuff about Sartre.”
“Just speed, raw speed, blinding speed, too much speed.”
“I myself never make any notes. Usually, if I write something down, I can't read it afterwards.”
“I was 14 when I started modeling. At the end of that first day my mum said, If you want to do this, you're on your own because I'm not traipsing around London ever again like that. It's a nightmare.”
“The social scientist is in a difficult, if not impossible position. On the one hand there is the temptation to see all of society as one's autobiography writ large, surely not the path to general truth. On the other hand, there is the attempt to be general and objective by pretending that one knows nothing about the experience of being human, forcing the investigator to pretend that people usually know and tell the truth about important issues, when we all know from our own lives how impossible that is.”
