“Since the time of Cain and Abel, family disputes have been marked by the irrational and impulsive decision of those involved, the fierce battles which ensue, and the senseless destruction they cause,”
Sara G. Forden, The House of Gucci: A True Story of Murder, Madness, Glamour, and Greed

Sophocles
“Look well at this, and speak no towering word             yourself against the gods, nor walk too grandly             because your hand is weightier than another’s, 130      or your great wealth deeper founded. One short day             inclines the balance of all human things             to sink or rise again. Know that the gods             love men of steady sense and hate the wicked.”
Sophocles, Sophocles II: Ajax, The Women of Trachis, Electra, Philoctetes, The Trackers

Sherry Turkle
“In debugging, errors are seen not as false but as fixable. This is a state of mind that makes it easy to learn from .6 Multiple passes also brought a new feel for the complexity of design decisions.”
Sherry Turkle, Simulation and Its Discontents

Sophocles
“ODYSSEUS             I cannot recommend a rigid spirit.”
Sophocles, Sophocles II: Ajax, The Women of Trachis, Electra, Philoctetes, The Trackers

Sherry Turkle
“Transparency once meant being able to "open the hood" to see how things worked. Now, with the Macintosh meaning of transparency dominant in the computer culture, it means quite the opposite: being able to use a program without knowing how it works.”
Sherry Turkle, Simulation and Its Discontents
