What works for men does not always work for women, because success and likability are positively correlated for men and negatively correlated for women. That's what the research shows. As a man gets more successful, everyone is rooting for him. As a woman gets more successful, both men and women like her less.

Sheryl Sandberg

A successful work of art is not one which resolves objective contradictions in a spurious harmony, but one which expresses the idea of harmony negatively by embodying the contradictions, pure and uncompromised, in its innermost structure.

Theodor Adorno

The individual attributes of warmth and competence are often perceived to be negatively correlated. That doesn't mean they actually are, but that's how people perceive the world. So, cruel people, those who gave negative book reviews, for instance, were seen as less likeable but as more intelligent.

Jeffrey Pfeffer

The essence of effective portfolio construction is the use of a large number of poorly correlated assets.

William J. Bernstein

Films that score very high with test audiences generally tend to not be so great. But, there's a lot of money involved in making movies, and it's a way for people to reassure themselves, who have spent money, and it's also a way to work out how to market a movie.

Andrew Dominik

The formation of scales and of the web of harmony is a product of artistic invention, and is in no way given by the natural structure or by the natural behaviour of our hearing, as used to be generally maintained hitherto.

Hermann von Helmholtz

Louise Nurding

People wrote so negatively about me, but generally, the people who are familiar with football know my strengths and abilities.

Mesut Ozil

An artist is generally expected to stick to one motif, one persona. People get used to seeing someone put down a certain thing.

Ad-Rock

Success and likeability are positively correlated for men and negatively for women. When a man is successful, he is liked by both men and women. When a woman is successful, people of both genders like her less.

Sheryl Sandberg

We tend to focus on assets and forget about debts. Financial security requires facing up to the big picture: assets minus debts.

Suze Orman

Stock price multiples are negatively correlated with real interest rates. As interest rates rise, the market multiple will fall.

Porter Stansberry

People should have an escape valve for their money, their assets. If you have substantial financial assets, the government is going to confiscate the purchasing power of those assets and spend it.

Peter Schiff

There are two very different types of artists: those I call Old Masters, who work by trial and error and tend to improve with age, and conceptual people, or Young Geniuses, who generally do their best work early in their careers.
