“The world is a complex, interconnected, finite, ecological–social–psychological–economic system. We treat it as if it were not, as if it were divisible, separable, simple, and infinite. Our persistent, intractable global problems arise directly from this mismatch.”
Meadows 1982 "Whole Earth Models and Systems". In: The CoEvolution Quarterly,En inglés “The future can't be predicted, but it can be envisioned and brought lovingly into being. Systems can't be controlled, but they can be designed and redesigned.”
Dancing with Systems: What to do when systems resist changeEn inglés “A system is a set of things – people, cells, molecules, or whatever – interconnected in such a way that they produce their own pattern of behavior over time.”
Thinking in Systems: A Primer, p. 2En inglés “Our culture, obsessed with numbers, has given us the idea that what we can measure is more important than what we can't measure. Think about that for a minute. It means that we make quantity more important than quality.”
Thinking in Systems: A PrimerEn inglés “No one can define or measure justice, democracy, security, freedom, truth, or love.”
Thinking in Systems: A Primer, p. 176En inglés
