There's no correlation between what the public likes and what I'm after. I'm in a different world.

Woody Allen

There is an excellent correlation between giving society what it wants and making money, and almost no correlation between the desire to make money and how much money one makes.

I could not see a correlation between their particular genius in playing chess and music and mathematics, etc. ... with human qualities.

But when I met some spiritual masters, [I thought that] there had to be a correlation, and it turned out to be true.

Matthieu Ricard

Something has to happen between you and the public, some interface that lets the public in on what you're doing.
