Alan Bennett
“[B]riefing is not reading. In fact it is the antithesis of reading. Briefing is terse, factual and to the point. Reading is untidy, discursive and perpetually inviting. Briefing closes down a subject, reading opens it up.”
Alan Bennett, The Uncommon Reader

James Gleick
“Everything we care about lies somewhere in the middle, where pattern and randomness interlace.”
James Gleick, The Information: A History, a Theory, a Flood
