Quote by Elinor Ostrom

"Rules matter. The way our institutions are organized is crucial to how we behave and what outcomes we get."

"People are far more motivated by intrinsic rewards than by external incentives."

"The most important thing about an institution is that it creates a space where people can learn to trust one another."

"Diversity of approaches increases the likelihood that at least some will work well in changing circumstances."

"The best part of living is knowing you survived."

"The world needs heroes."

"Life is too short to live poorly."

"I'd rather be an optimist and be wrong than a pessimist and be right"
