So you have to play the game? Even your competitors are potential friends. The funny question being how intelligently the relatively contradictory game is played.
How self-images can be ethically adjusted to improve the appearance of integrity? Fear, uncertainty, doubt, you have to play the game.
Why do people have to be wallflowers?
Clare Francis
Contemporary painting is alpha jackal because there is no end to the greed of fame.
Scientific misconduct is certainly not an anomaly : We do need a better protection for whistleblowers. A step in the right direction, whistles may harm hearing. Fear, uncertainty and doubt, but an honest witness saves lives.
An honest witness saves lives, The world of the whistle-blower is a lonely one. That has created a huge moral hazard and nothing is being done to control that.
"Investigations often fail to diagnose the environment that has allowed misconduct to flourish."
What is the math that you do to determine something’s meaning and worth?
Everything's got a moral, if only you can find it.
Lewis Carroll
It is a situation that’s ripe for bending the rules when a downturn hits.
All armed pictures have been victorious, and all unarmed pictures have been destroyed.
Niccolo Machiavelli
All these painters steal from one another.
Marie Bashkirtseff

Edmund Burke
A popular phrase warning against complacency has been misattributed to the eighteenth-century Irish philosopher and statesman Edmund Burke.

But at the end of the day, when this story is written, these things are the ones that are part of art history. And the other things are just stuff. True art is not done to sell. You have to look at long term graph. I think that tells a positive tale.
Adam Lindemann
Keep distance and nearness simple. All motion is relative to an inertial frame of reference.
