While boards are better today than they were a decade ago, they continue to be far from optimal. Many directors depend on the income they receive from serving on boards, and as a result are reluctant to challenge management on strategy, risk-taking, or compensation.

Many CEOs prefer directors with no experience in a company’s principal lines of business because it makes it more difficult for them to challenge the CEO. — Bill Ackman

One of my proudest achievements is that when an authoritative book about Hungarian literature came out about a decade ago, there was a little article about me which said I was a Hungarian writer but pretending not to be.

We're living in a time when the sheer amount of language has exponentially increased.

What is happening in politics today is a similar process to what happened in the medical world a few decades ago: realizing that there's more to healing than just addressing symptoms.

And the state of the world today makes it clear that such allopathic measures have not exactly brought peace to all. — Marianne Williamson

A decade ago, my poems were precious little boxes, small and claustrophobic, completely inward gazing. I didn't possess the command to speak beyond the self.

China's accumulation of reserves is a result of the IMF's mismanagement of the Asian financial crisis a decade or so ago.

We live in an age where there is both more expression and more self-censorship than existed even a decade ago.
