3 quotes from Moneyball

• "The problem with baseball is that it doesn’t have a lot of good ideas for how to get better. It has a lot of good ideas for how to make money, but it has very few good ideas for how to win."
• "In the end, the game is about winning—about creating a team that has the highest number of wins at the end of the season. To do that, we've got to think differently."
• "You can see you’re right and everyone else is wrong. But that has never mattered for those who think. The key is to see who are the ones with courage to act on that thought."
