• Accurate processing of information about outcomes is no simple task under the variable conditions of everyday life . . . usually, many factors enter into determining what effects, if any, given actions will have, Actions, therefore, produce outcomes probabilistically rather than certainly. Depending on the particular conjunction of factors, the same course of action may produce given outcomes regularly, occasionally, or only infrequently

• In the art of teaching, we recognize that ideas and insights need to cook over a period of time.
  Sometimes the student who is least articulate about expressing the ideas is in fact the one who is absorbing
  and processing them most deeply. This applies as well to our own private learning of our art form; the
  areas in which we feel most stuck and most incompetent may be our richest gold mine of developing
  material. The use of silence in teaching then becomes very powerful.

We're seeing less paper flying around and more quality of communication.

• Human beings do not relate to written words in the same way that they will relate to spoken words. They do not relate to music in the same way that they do to pictures. It's all different parts of our head, different parts of our minds processing this.

• So long as mathematicians can impose up-and-down semantics upon students while trafficking personally in the non-up-and-down advantages of their concise statements, they can impose upon the ignorance of man a monopoly of access to accurate processing of information and can fool even themselves by thought habits governing the becoming behavior of professional specialists, by disclaiming the necessity of, or responsibility for, comprehensive adjustment of the a priori thought to total reality of universal principles.
