• To err is to wander, and wandering is the way we discover the world; and, lost in thought, it is also the way we discover ourselves. Being right might be gratifying, but in the end it is static, a mere statement. Being wrong is hard and humbling, and sometimes even dangerous, but in the end it is a journey, and a story.

• Si tenemos metas y sueños y queremos hacerlo lo mejor posible, y si amamos a las personas y no queremos herirlas o perderlas, deberíamos sentir dolor cuando las cosas van mal. No se trata de vivir sin arrepentimientos, sino de no odiarnos por tenerlos... Tenemos que aprender a amar las cosas imperfectas y defectuosas que creamos, y perdonarnos por haberlas creado. El arrepentimiento no nos recuerda que lo hemos hecho mal, sino que sabemos que podemos hacerlo mejor.

• Of all the things we are wrong about, error might well top the list ... We are wrong about what it means to be wrong. Far from being a sign of intellectual inferiority, the capacity to err is crucial to human cognition. Far from being a moral flaw, it is inextricable from some of our most humane and honourable qualities: empathy, optimism, imagination, conviction, and courage. And far from being a mark of indifference or intolerance, wrongness is a vital part of how we learn and change. Thanks to error, we can revise our understanding of ourselves and amend our ideas about the world.

• A whole lot of us go through life assuming that we are basically right, basically all the time, about basically everything: about our political and intellectual convictions, our religious and moral beliefs, our assessments of other people, our memories, our grasp of facts. As absurd as it sounds when we stop to think about it, our steady state seems to be one of unconsciously assuming that we are very close to omniscient.

• Error ... is less an intellectual problem than an existential one - a crisis not in what we know, but in who we are. We hear something of that identity crisis in the questions we ask ourselves in the aftemath of error: What was I thinking? How could I have done that?

• A diferencia de pensadores anteriores, que habían tratado de mejorar su precisión deshaciéndose del error, Laplace se dio cuenta de que había que tratar de obtener más error: agregando suficientes datos defectuosos, se obtiene un atisbo de la verdad.

"...La respuesta correcta es, en cierto sentido, una función de los errores.
