Trust is built step by step, commitment by commitment, on every level.

High-class kitsch may well be "perfect" in its form and and composition: the academic painters were often masters of their craft. Thus, the accusation that a work of kitsch is based not on lack of for or aesthetic merit but on the presence of a particularly provocative emotional content. (The best art, by contrast, eschews emotional content altogether.)

Trust is not bound up with knowledge so much as it is with freedom, the openness to the unknown.

If a currency is to become a growing, an increasing reserve currency, there has to be not only a demand for it there has to be a supply of it.

The dollar is currently the principal reserve currency in the world.

We also confuse trust with familiarity.

All trust involves vulnerability and risk, and nothing would count as trust if there were no possibility of betrayal.
