• There is no ideal length, but you develop a little interior gauge that tells you whether or not you're supporting the house or detracting from it. When a piece gets too long, the tension goes out of it. That word—tension—has an animal insistence for me. A piece of writing rises and falls with tension. The writer holds one end of the rope and the reader holds the other end—is the rope slack, or is it tight? Does it matter to the reader what the next sentence is going to be?

  John Jeremiah Sullivan

  Fall, Writing, Animal

  Sarah Ruhl

• Creemos que no hay mayor poder en el mundo que la fuerza de una gran idea. Creemos que las personas son el alma de toda organización. Creemos que las mejores empresas son verdaderas meritocracias, en las que las personas ascienden y descienden por sus propias contribuciones, no por el juego o la política. Creemos que el trabajo no es simplemente un sueldo, sino la máxima expresión de la plena realización personal. Creemos que las obligaciones de una empresa se extienden mucho más allá de su cuenta de resultados y de sus accionistas, a un colectivo más amplio que incluye a empleados, clientes, proveedores y la comunidad.

  John A. Byrne

• It is a pity that so many Americans today think of the Indian as a romantic or comic figure in American history without contemporary significance. In fact, the Indian plays much the same role in our society that the Jews played in Germany. Like the miner’s canary, the Indian marks the shift from fresh air to poison gas in our political atmosphere; and our treatment of Indians, even more than our treatment of other minorities, reflects the rise and fall in our democratic faith.

  Felix S. Cohen

  Fall, Thinking, Air
