Danh ngôn của Henry Petroski
We call the fates of the Titanic and the Concordia - as well as those of the space shuttles Challenger and Columbia - 'accidents.' Foreseeing such undesirable events is what engineers are expected to do. However, design trade-offs leave technological systems open to failings once predicted, but later forgotten.

Chúng tôi gọi số phận của tàu Titanic và Concordia - cũng như số phận của các tàu con thoi Challenger và Columbia - là 'tai nạn'. Nhìn thấy trước những sự kiện không mong muốn như vậy là điều mà các kỹ sư phải làm. Tuy nhiên, sự đánh đổi trong thiết kế khiến các hệ thống công nghệ có nguy cơ gặp phải những sai sót từng được dự đoán trước nhưng sau đó bị lãng quên.

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.
- 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.
- 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.

- Your belief system saturates the space around you.
- I actually don't invest in anything that is social, mobile, deals or ad networks simply because those are areas where there are so many players and so many other smart people in the space, I feel like I don't have a competitive advantage. So I tend to go after things that are e-commerce, like healthcare.
- I didn't go to school for illustration. I did larger pieces, mostly drawings and paintings, and minored in video, but when I moved to N.Y.C., I didn't have a studio space anymore and downsized to my desk and started illustrating. I started a greeting card company and sold cards all over the city.
- When time and space and change converge, we find place. We arrive in Place when we resolve things. Place is peace of mind and understanding. Place is knowledge of self. Place is resolution.
- Maybe I didn't take the advantage and become a star and get all the brands so that I could solidify my space in the world.
