A hospital bed is a parked taxi with the meter running.

... the human soul is hospitable, and will entertain conflicting sentiments and contradictory opinions with much impartiality.

Corporate policies and procedures are designed with one aim: to harness a man to the plow and make him produce. But the soul refuses to be harnessed; it knows nothing of Day Timers and deadlines and P&amp;L statements. The soul longs for passion, for freedom, for life.

Hence no force, however great, can stretch a cord, however fine, into a horizontal line which is accurately straight: there will always be a bending downwards.

It is a test of true theories not only to account for but to predict phenomena.
