“It really doesnâ€™t matter how the manager is. If you make a mistake and the manager is calm, you still feel terrible for making that mistake. It helps to have a manager who can be cool but as an individual you tend to be in control of your own emotions.”

“A book is a physical object in a world of physical objects. It is a set of dead symbols. And then the right reader comes along, and the wordsâ€”or rather the poetry behind the words, for the words themselves are mere symbolsâ€”spring to life, and we have a resurrection of the word.”

Under the new error, business is unduly depressed.”
