“Seriously though... who fuckin’ does that? Who has the prank stamina to hold it back for fifteen years? I’m not only impressed by this, but I’m proud to have a friend with such stealth practical, and tactical, joke skills. Thank you Adam [Yauch], for elevating the team that Coach built around you. - Beastie Boys Book”
Adam Horovitz

Ken Follett
“And when things are simple, fewer mistakes are made. The most expensive part of a building is the mistakes.”
Ken Follett, The Pillars of the Earth

Terry Pratchett
“Intellectually, Ridcully maintained his position for two reasons. One was that he never, ever, changed his mind about anything. The other was that it took him several minutes to understand any new idea put to him, and this is a very valuable trait in a leader, because anything anyone is still trying to explain to you after two minutes is probably important and anything they give up after a mere minute or so is almost certainly something they shouldn’t have been bothering you with in the first place.”
Terry Pratchett, Reaper Man

Noam Chomsky
“Real education is about getting people involved in thinking for themselves- and that's a tricky business to know how to do well, but clearly it requires that whatever it is you're looking at has to somehow catch people's interest and make them want to think, and make them want to pursue and explore.”
Noam Chomsky, Understanding Power: The Indispensable Chomsky

Neal Stephenson
“[regarding the quality of Juanita’s coding of avatar faces in the Metaverse]
They [businessmen] come here to talk turkey with suits from around the world and they consider it just as good as a face to face. They more or less ignore what is being said - a lot gets lost in translation after all. They pay attention to the facial expressions and body language of the people they are talking to and that’s how they know what’s going on inside a person’s head... by condensing fact from the vapor of nuance.”
Neal Stephenson, Snow Crash
