Systems Run

Famous quotes containing the words systems and/or run:

“The only people who treasure systems are those whom the whole truth evades, who want to catch it by the tail. A system is just like truth’s tail, but the truth is like a lizard. It will leave the tail in your hand and escape; it knows that it will soon grow another tail.”
—Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (1818–1883)

“If you keep your feathers well oiled the water of criticism will run off as from a duck’s back.”
