I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.
 
A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend upon the support of Paul.
 
If it were not for hopes, the heart would break.
 
First-order cybernetics is the science of observed systems; Second-order cybernetics is the science of observing systems.
