Space is the basic ingredient of the universe; there is more of it than anything else.

We've taken disturbances and fluctuations and averaged them together to give us comfortable statistics. Our training has been to look for big numbers, important trends, major variances. Yet it is the slight variations - soft-spoken, even whispered at first - that we need to encourage.

A world based on machine images is a world filled with boundaries. In a machine, every piece knows its place.

A leader is one who... Has more faith in people than they do, and . . . who holds opportunities open long enough for their competence to re-emerge.

Life is creative. It makes it up as it goes along.

We are, always, poets, exploring possibilities of meaning in a world which is also all the time exploring possibilities.

we can't be creative if we refuse to be confused. Change always starts with confusion; cherished interpretations must dissolve to make way for what's new. Great ideas and inventions miraculously appear in the space of not knowing.
