• Even without comparing ourselves to the world's greatest, we set such high standards for ourselves that neither we nor anyone else could ever meet them-and nothing is more destructive to creativity than this. We fail to realize that mastery is not about perfection. It's about a process, a journey. The master is the one who stays on the path day after day, year after year. The master is the one who is willing to try, and fail, and try again, for as long as he or she lives.

• En términos de la teoría de juegos, podríamos decir que el universo está constituido de tal manera que maximiza el juego. Los mejores juegos no son aquellos en los que todo transcurre con suavidad y constancia hacia una conclusión determinada, sino aquellos en los que el resultado está siempre en duda. Del mismo modo, la geometría de la vida está diseñada para mantenernos en el punto de máxima tensión entre certeza e incertidumbre, orden y caos. Cada decisión importante está reñida. Sobrevivimos y evolucionamos por los pelos. No nos gustaría que fuera de otro modo.
