Eliyahu M. Goldratt Quotes
Okay, so why was the plant built in the first place? It was built to produce products. Why can’t that be the goal? Jonah said it wasn’t. But I don’t see why it isn’t the goal.

When we did eventually get to the party - me walking next to Dad's Volvo driving at five miles an hour - I had a horrible time. Everyone laughed at first but then more or less ignored me.

Page after page, the drive to capture what is true, and not what resembles the truth, shapes the work.

If I can’t, I throw everything away.
