Our family life was certainly not intellectual.

I continue to be a photographer; I have enjoyed fishing and hunting with a close friend; and have owned two ranches, first in northern California and then in the state of Washington.

To predict the future we would have to know today what we will learn tomorrow which will shape our future actions

My record at the University of California as an undergraduate was mediocre to say the best.

My early work and publications centered around expanding on the analysis of life insurance in my dissertation and its relationship to investment banking.

It was not until I got my first job, at the University of Washington in Seattle, and began playing chess with Don Gordon, a brilliant young theorist, that I learned economic theory.

My brother and sister are both older than I am and were born before my father went off to World War I.

In 1972 I married again, to Elisabeth Case; she continues to be wife, companion, critic and editor: a partner in the projects and programs that we undertake.

What the war did was give me the opportunity of three years of continuous reading, and it was in the course of reading that I became convinced that I should become an economist.

I learned to fly an airplane, and had my own airplane during the 1960s.

I had hoped to go to law school, but the war started, and because of the strong feeling that I did not want to kill anybody, I joined the Merchant Marine when I graduated from Berkeley.

With a little care for each other in the business world, we create a better one. A world in which human beings look after their fellow humans.

All events/actions create a potential energy that rotate around the doer until releases or neutralized. (From Circles of Reasoning book)

Love does not need true copies signed by a registrar of marriages.

I am a firm believer that upon release, ex-offenders should be afforded a second chance to become productive citizens by providing rehabilitation and education that will help them join the workforce.

Just because we didn't work out as a couple didn't mean we couldn't work together, right?

The darkness is coming now god dammit!

One is but a shade of the other.

Ideas are fatal to caste.

To me, the biggest surprise is that Google still functions despite the explosion in the number of sites.

When I did TV shows and my other movies, I never try to do it for anybody. I just do what I think is good no matter what the genre is.
