It increases by experience, by the passage of seasons over it, growth rising out of it and returning to it, not by ambition or aggressiveness. It is enriched by all things that die and enter into it. It keeps the past, not as history or as memory, but as richness, new possibility. Its fertility is always building up out of death into promise. Death is the bridge or the tunnel by which its past enters its future."
"I know that men are so eager to be one among the stars.I feel that damaged earth will never let men go off hand."

"The way to build a complex system that works is to build it from very simple systems that work."
"The system continually has to make this choice: it can either continue to exploit a known process and make it more productive, or it can explore a new process at the cost of being less efficient."
"The current understanding was that it was impossible to predict how something would evolve because it was a very turbulent environment full of things interacting with each other."
"One of the functions of an organization, of any organism, is to anticipate the future, so that those relationships can persist over time."
"But in fact, when you try to model that on a computer you find that because of the very structure of matter and of the chemical bonds that are the basis of every organism, evolution is not random at all. It will tend to follow certain paths."
"Complexity that works is built up out of modules that work perfectly, layered one over the other."
