A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral.
~Antoine de Saint-Exupery

 

Everybody else still sees a rock pile until someone gets the permits, files the environmental impact report, and actually gets the guys with the money to do more than say “What a great idea! It’s too risky for us to finance.”

Strategy:
A long-range plan whose merit cannot be evaluated until sometime
after those creating it have left the organization.

Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end.
~Semisonic in “Closing Time”
