## Quotes

* The whole culture of wearing flags on our lapel and saying ‘we’ when referring to the United States and, even the ‘shock and awe’ of the initial stages, it was just too jubilant and just a little uncomfortable. And I remember feeling, when I was anchoring the ‘Today’ show, this inevitable march towards war and kind of feeling like, ‘Will anybody put the brakes on this?’ And is this really being properly challenged by the right people? And I think, at the time, anyone who questioned the administration was considered unpatriotic and it was a very difficult position to be in.
** National Press club speech, September 25, 2007.
* And have the courage to accept that you’re not perfect, nothing is, and no one is — and that’s OK.

An interesting common thread I see is the importance of sports in these cultures, the passion that exists for sports and athletic accomplishment. It is wonderful that sports can have this kind of impact on people, and one can only hope that sports and competition will therefore have a positive impact on how various nations view each other.

# Pierre-Gilles de Gennes

Pierre-Gilles de Gennes (October 24, 1932 – May 18, 2007) was a French physicist and winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1991.

## Quotes

* Benjamin Franklin performed a beautiful experiment using surfactants; on a pond at Clapham Common, he poured a small amount of oleic acid, a natural surfactant which tends to form a dense film at the water-air interface. He measured the volume required to cover all the pond. Knowing the area, he then knew the height of the film, something like three nanometers in our current units. This was to my knowledge the first measurement of the size of molecules. In our days, when we are spoilt with exceedingly complex toys, such as nuclear reactors or synchrotron sources, I particularly like to describe experiments of this Franklin style to my students. Surfactants allow us to protect a water surface, and to generate these beautiful soap bubbles, which are the delight of our children.
** "Soft Matter" Nobel lecture (9 December 1991) - full text in PDF format
* A dense film of a conventional surfactant is quite impermeable. On the other hand, a dense film of Janus grains always has some interstices between the grains, and allows for chemical exchange between the two sides; "the skin can breathe". This may possibly be of some practical interest.
** "Soft Matter" Nobel lecture (9 December 1991)
* The final lines are not mine: they come from an experiment on soft matter, after Boudin… An English translation might run like this:
       Have fun on sea and land Unhappy it is to become famous Riches, honors, false glitters of this world All is but soap bubbles
    No conclusion could be more appropriate today.
   * "Soft Matter" Nobel lecture (9 December 1991)
* Le vrai point d'honneur [d'un scientifique] n'est pas d'être toujours dans le vrai. Il est d'oser, de proposer des idées neuves, et ensuite de les vérifier.
** The real point of honor [for a scientist] is not to be always right. It is to dare to propose new ideas, and then to check them.
** As quoted in La Science des Rêves, Science et Vie Junior, 214, (18 May 2007), p. 13

# Piero Sraffa

Piero Sraffa (5 August 1898 – 3 September 1983) was an influential Italian economist, who served as lecturer of economics at the University of Cambridge.

## Quotes

* In economic theory the conclusions are sometimes less interesting than the route by which they are reached.
** October 1975 in letter to C.P. Blitch, as cited in: Riccardo Bellofiore, ‎Scott Carter (2014), Towards a New Understanding of Sraffa. p. 199

## Quotes about Sraffa

* Perhaps the most influential theorist in England today is Nicholas Kaldor (Hungary), and undoubtedly the most original is Piero Sraffa (Italy).
** Perry Anderson, "Components of the National Culture", New Left Review I/50, July-August 1968
* There are two things in Sraffa. One of them is very close to Keynes and that's the part that the Sraffians ignore and that is, Sraffa wrote a criticism of Hayek's capital theory book in 1932, and it's in that criticism that Sraffa developed this theory of spot and forward markets, and it's that theory which Keynes latched onto in his spot-forward market analysis. So there's a very good connection between Sraffa and the spot-forward markets. The other thing which they've latched onto, what was really anti-Keynesian, is The Production of Commodities by Means of Commodities. It has nothing to do with real world or with economics - it's an attack to show that the neoclassical system doesn't work. There are lots of ways of showing that it doesn't work, but basically the way Sraffa shows it doesn't work is by assuming that there's no substitutability between labour and capital. It's a fixed-coefficient system. So what? You know, the old neoclassicists would have said that wages were inflexible. It's the same thing. Real wages are inflexible in the Sraffian system. What does it prove? I don't think it proves anything.
** Paul Davidson, quoted in Conversations with Post Keynesians (1995) by J. E. King
