Summary

This quote emphasizes the need for those in the finance industry to accept and embrace a certain level of uncertainty and ambiguity. The world is complex and constantly evolving, and it is unrealistic to expect precise and accurate predictions or measurements in financial matters. By developing a greater tolerance for imprecision, financial professionals can adapt to the unpredictable nature of the world and make more informed decisions based on available information, rather than succumbing to the illusion of absolute certainty.

The musical emotion springs precisely from the fact that at

The musical emotion springs precisely from the fact that at each moment the composer withholds or adds more or less than the listener anticipates on the basis of a pattern that he thinks he can guess, but that he is incapable of wholly divining. If the composer withholds more than we anticipate, we experience a delicious falling sensation; we feel we have been torn from a stable point on the musical ladder and thrust into the void. When the composer withholds less, the opposite occurs: he forces us to perform gymnastic exercises more skillful than our own.
