• La oscuridad, incredulidad y obscenidad, tan conspicuas en muchas partes, condenarían con justicia las obras de un escritor moderno. Contiene una mezcla de incoherencia y contradicción; llamar a esto la palabra de Dios, es el más alto grado de extravagancia: es atribuir a la deidad aquello de lo que cualquier persona con sentido común se sonrojaría al confesarse autor.

  Elihu Palmer

• ...one of hallmarks of a creative person is the ability to tolerate ambiguity, dissonance, inconsistency, things out of place. But one of the rules of a well-run corporation is that surprise is to be minimized. Yet if this rule were applied to the creative process, nothing worth reading would get written, nothing worth seeing would get painted, nothing worth living with and using would ever get designed.

• Si hay una palabra que diferencia a las personas creativas de las demás, es la palabra complejidad. En lugar de ser un individuo, son una multitud. Como el color blanco que incluye todos los colores, tienden a reunir en sí mismas toda la gama de posibilidades humanas. La creatividad permite la paradoja, la luz, la sombra, la incoherencia, incluso el caos, y las personas creativas experimentan ambos extremos con la misma intensidad.

• Dad always warned that it was misleading when one imagined people, when one sas them in the Mind's Eye, because one never remembered them as they really were, with as many inconsistencies as there were hairs on a human head (100,000 to 200,000). Instead, the mind used a lazy shorthand, smoothed the person over into their most dominating characteristic--their pessimism or insecurity (something really being lazy, turning them into either Nice or Mean)--and one made the mistake of judging them from this basis alone and risked, on a subsequent encounter, being dangerously surprised.

  Marisha Pessl

  The true use of history, whether civil or military, is not to make man clever for the next time, it is to make him wise forever.

• La lógica débil, las incoherencias y la alienación del pueblo son características comunes del autoritarismo. Los implacables intentos de los regímenes totalitarios de impedir el libre pensamiento y las nuevas ideas y la persistente afirmación de su propia rectitud les acarrean un inmovilismo intelectual que proyectan sobre la nación en general. La intimidación y la propaganda trabajan en un dúo de opresión, mientras el pueblo, sumido en el miedo y la desconfianza, aprende a disimular y a guardar silencio.
