Danh ngôn của Henry Petroski
I employ case studies of failure into my courses, emphasizing that they teach us much more than studies of success. It is not that success stories cannot serve as models of good design or as exemplars of creative engineering. They can do that, but they cannot teach us how close to failure they are.

Tôi sử dụng các nghiên cứu điển hình về thất bại trong các khóa học của mình, nhấn mạnh rằng chúng dạy chúng ta nhiều điều hơn là nghiên cứu về thành công. Không phải là những câu chuyện thành công không thể được coi là hình mẫu của thiết kế tốt hoặc là hình mẫu của kỹ thuật sáng tạo. Họ có thể làm điều đó, nhưng họ không thể dạy chúng ta rằng họ đã gần đến mức thất bại.

Các câu danh ngôn khác của cùng tác giả: Henry Petroski
- All conventional wisdom has an element of truth to it, but good design requires more than an element of truth - it requires an ensemble of correct assumptions and valid calculations.
- Case studies of failure should be made a part of the vocabulary of every engineer so that he or she can recall or recite them when something in a new design or design process is suggestive of what went wrong in the case study.
- Any design, whether it's for a ship or an airplane, must be done in anticipation of potential failures.
- I have always been fascinated by the way things work and how they came to take the form that they did. Writing about these things satisfies my curiosity about the made world while at the same time giving me an opportunity to design a new explanation for the processes that shape it.
- Science is about knowing; engineering is about doing.

- I like to choreograph and create and design the costumes and do it all and then step back and watch it and then move on to the next project.
- What's nice about experiments is that they are much more closely tied to what theorists think about the world than normal empirical research. You can design your experiment to exactly ask the question you want to ask. This is not true about normal empirical research.
- Every step and every movement of the multitude, even in what are termed enlightened ages, are made with equal blindness to the future; and nations stumble upon establishments, which are indeed the result of human action, but not the execution of any human design.
- Flawed Design' is a song on the record and it explores why people feel a need to present themselves maybe not necessarily as what they actually are. It seems like in society, a lot of people want to be or try to be perfect.
- I wrote a song on the record called 'Flawed Design' and it's basically looking at that, and it was just exploring how everybody obviously has flaws. I think to embrace those flaws - enjoy them, embrace them - and actually be a real person is something that a lot of people struggle with, myself included.
