Of course [the opposition] can be supported! I mean, for God's sake, from Solidarity in Poland to the ANC in South Africa... there was a great degree of support. But they [the Poles and South Africans] did it. It was not some foreign country doing it. (Reza Pahlavi)

We can believe that we know where the world should go. But unless we're in touch with our customers, our model of the world can diverge from reality. There's no substitute for innovation, of course, but innovation is no substitute for being in touch, either.

Bertrand Russell
