“He smiles and his wavy haired, bright eyed head scoops me in but quickly lands on Mimi. It lingers a bit long, his chest frozen as if the breath's been knocked out; he already loves her. Mothers know these things. It's the kind of love that springs from awe, attraction, intellectual curiosity, and finding a woman mom approves of... the girl next door with exciting fangs. I wonder if their offspring will have fangs.”

“We can be motivated out the wazoo by gaining an understanding of all these power packed psychological truths yet somehow lack the basic engine needed to turn all that positive advice into the outcomes we desire. The science of quality management needs a seat at that table. Without it, a perplexing gap can be created when we set out to apply all that psychologically proven information to produce the specific type of life or career we want. Understanding how quality is defined, built, and managed was the missing link for me.”

“He fights, night after night, to peel my onion soul without caring about it. I never see his tears but his eyes burn as they fill with the putrid smell of my insecurity, anger, and pain. He loves me in glorious bouts of unreserve, swearing I'm all he thinks about and all he wants. Those precious moments are worth the hatred he seems to have for me in the hours and days that come between.”

“Don't be afraid!" Tim hollered from the car. 'Seek the truth!" "Yeah, seek the truth," Mac said. His eyes moved in his head as if he was trying to understand something himself. And for the first time, I considered that maybe there were no doors after all. Maybe when you look for a man's door, you create it. You create the door that shuts you out. I looked past him and focused on the door I could see.”

“The only way I've been able to cope is to set up house in a metaphorical white room. Keep everything simple. Color is emotion; the thing that drives me to please like an insatiable addiction, and that addiction puts me in jeopardy of compromise. Compromising for the sake of pleasing makes the intellectual in me want to puke. Hating myself in any way makes me grieve, and that's something I can't afford.”

“Throughout my life," she said, spreading her arms out as if to say that the wall was her life, "I've set goals, mapped out a course of action, a measurable plan, and then step-by-step, I've accomplished those goals. I accomplish the goal in question and don't concern myself with what thangs look like or how my plan is perceived along the way. Only the end result matters, the culmination of multiple parts, tiny steps I recognized early on as critical.”

“Customer satisfaction is the key determinant of quality. If a product satisfies the customer or meets the customer's specifications, then it is acceptable. Otherwise, it is defective in some way. To define the quality of any product, one must fully understand customer needs and specifications.”

“Our faces portray the emotions our colleagues and bosses expect. We gladly show those that earn points and brilliantly hide those that do not. Nothing is real about it; it's business and we're supposed to feel okay about it for at least 60 hours per week. If you're lucky, you get used to it. You become highly-skilled at it until you're an invincible corporate giant -- king of a mountain that means very little in the end.”
