Do Pause Quotes

“Such ‘radical serendipities’ don’t happen when you are head down, rushing to a predetermined destination, or buried up to your eyebrows in everyday detail. The opportunities might still be there, but chances are you won’t see or notice them, and even if you do, you are likely to dismiss them as impossible while you speed along the path you have planned.”

“Machines work well at a constant speed—and the faster the better. They are designed and built for it. Whether they are spinning cotton or crunching numbers, regular, repetitive actions are what they excel at and, increasingly, our world is designed by machines. Yet what works well for machines doesn't work well for people.”
