• Algunos de mis momentos más infelices han tenido lugar en organizaciones. De alguna manera, parece bastante respetable hacer cosas en las organizaciones que nunca harías en la vida privada. Me han insultado a la cara delante de mis compañeros. Me han hecho tragar mis sentimientos con el pretexto de que me haría bien. Me han exigido hacer cosas con las que no estaba de acuerdo porque la organización así lo deseaba... En mis peores momentos he pensado que las organizaciones eran lugares diseñados para ser dirigidos por sádicos y atendidos por masoquistas.

• The first step is to measure whatever can easily be measured. This is OK as far as it goes. The second step is to disregard that which can't be easily measured or to give it an arbitrary quantitative value. This is artificial and misleading. The third step is to presume that what can't be measured easily really isn't important. This is blindness. The fourth step is to say that what can't be easily measured really doesn't exist. This is suicide.
