System Quotes

“This indignation builds up an accumulation of anger over the many ways I am being reminded by the system then and now of my inferiority. This gradual anger over one humiliation after another may be hard for men to understand and even women who have not had the need to seek redress from perpetrators and who have been allowed to grow as I did in my youth unhindered, protected from male dominated themes like the military."47 (47 - paraphrased from Gurko, Miriram, The Ladies of Seneca Falls; the Birth of the Women's Rights Movement, 1974.”

“They're installing a boiler system," Pandora said, flipping through a book. "It's a set of two large copper cylinders filled with water pipes that are heated by gas burners. One never has to wait for the hot water- it comes at once through expansion pipes attached to the top of the boiler." "Pandora," Kathleen asked suspiciously, "how do you know all that?" "The master plumber explained it to me." "Dear," Helen said gently, "it's not seemly for you to converse with a man when you haven't been introduced. Especially a laborer in our home." "But Helen, he's old. He looks like Father Christmas." "Age has nothing to do with it," Kathleen said crisply. "Pandora, you promised to abide by the rules." "I do," Pandora protested, looking chagrined. "I follow all the rules that I can remember." "How is it that you remember the details of a plumbing system but not basic etiquette?" "Because plumbing is more interesting.”

“They give us more freedom and more rights, but take away our choices or preferences. You can't say this or you can't do that, but you are free and have rights to do whatever you want, They say. They are putting red tapes everywhere ,to channel and controlling us on what to believe, what to think, what to say and on what to do. They want us to think we are , while we are not.”

“What is peculiar and novel to our age is that the principal goal of politics in every advanced society is not, strictly speaking, a political one, that is today, it is not concerned with human beings as persons and citizens, but with human bodies. ... In all technologically advanced countries today, whatever political label they give themselves, their policies have, essentially, the same goal: to guarantee to every member of society, as a psychophysical organism, the right to physical and mental health.”

“The citizens of the land, the peoples of the nation must be made strong in their convictions of these values. These values and virtues must become the wealth of the people, they must become their pride. They must be reflected in their lifestyle, in their film and movie industries. This value system must be ingrained in their educational system. They must be proclaimed in their pulpits. Homes and families must be built on the wealth of these virtues.”

“Well, networks spontaneously emerge all the time. In economics, it's referred to as 'spontaneous order,'" Benjamin contributed. "And doesn't spontaneous order often arise when a so-called 'higher order' has crumbled?" John questioned. "Yes, that's why some also refer to it as an 'informal order.' It's an order that arises out of the necessity to establish a semblance of a less chaotic system, I suppose.”

“Having great components is not enough. We are obsessed in medicine with having great components, the best drugs, the best devices, the best specialists, but pay little attention to how to make them fit together well. Berwick notes how wrong-headed this approach is. Anyone who understands systems will know immediately that optimizing parts is not a good route to system excellence, he says. He gives the example of a famous thought experiment, of trying to build the world’s greatest car by assembling the world’s greatest car parts. We connect the engine of a Ferrari, the breaks of a Porsche, the suspension of BMW, the body of a Volvo. What we get, of course, is nothing close to a great car. We get a pile of very expensive junk.”

“Ich lüge auch. Aber ich weiß es. Ich weiß, dass das System falsch ist. Bei uns in der Wirtschaft sieht das ein Blinder. Aber ich diene dem falschen System mit Hingabe. Denn im Rahmen des falschen Systems, dem ich mein bescheidenes Talent zur Verfügung stelle, sind die falschen Maßnahmen naturgemäß richtig und die richtigen sind begreiflicherweise falsch.”
