Another month has passed and here is a new rationality quotes thread. The usual rules are:

Please post all quotes separately, so that they can be upvoted or downvoted separately. (If they are strongly related, reply to your own comments. If strongly ordered, then go ahead and post them together.)
Do not quote yourself.
Do not quote from Less Wrong itself, Overcoming Bias, or HPMoR.
No more than 5 quotes per person per monthly thread, please.

Thanks for the cite: sadly, on clicking through, I get a menacing error message in a terrifying language, so evidently you can't share it that way?

That's odd, it works on three different browsers and two different machines for me. I guess there's some geographical restriction. Here's a PDF instead then, I was citing what's page 45 by the book's page numbering and page 60 by the PDF's.

Curiously, the first time I clicked the Google Books link, I got the "Yksi sormus hallitsemaan niitä kaikkia..." message (not an exact transcription), but the second time, it let me in.
