Text Quotes
The public totally discounts low-probability high-consequence events. The individual says, it’s not going to be this plane, this bus, this time  (Amanda Ripley Quotes) Well, there isn’t any one profile of a survivor, but there are profiles. Depending on the disaster you have certain advantages and disadvantages just based on who you are. Women are more likely to survive hurricanes. In hurricanes the deaths come from floods and people driving through high water. That’s much more likely to be a man who dies that way.  (Amanda Ripley Quotes) People will help each other because there is a sense of camaraderie that springs up, which is a survival tactic. You help them because you know you might need their help later. And that is incredibly reassuring.  (Amanda Ripley Quotes) Narrative is the beginning of recovery  (Amanda Ripley Quotes) Boredom is the specter that haunts children from kindergarten to graduation on every continent  (Amanda Ripley Quotes) We gauge risk literally hundreds of times per day, usually well and often subconsciously. We start assessing risk before the disaster even happens. We are doing is right now. We decide where to live and what kind of insurance to buy, just like we process all kinds of everyday risks: we wear bike helmets, or not. We buckle our seatbelts, smoke cigarettes, and let our kids stay out until midnight. Or not  (Amanda Ripley Quotes) Resilience is a precious skill. People who have it tend to also have three underlying advantages: a believe that they can influence life events; a tendency to find meaningful purpose in life’s turmoil; and a conviction that they can learn from both positive and negative experiences  (Amanda Ripley Quotes)
