— from Takeoff Into Chaos

In the book

Order keeps you safe, yet pure order is also lifeless and dull — the world and every living thing in it need both. The richest place to fly is the narrow border between them, where you are turning a little chaos into order and living creatively, the way a musician improvises — daring, but controlled, like driving fast with your hands sure on the wheel. None of this is new, and that itself is part of the lesson. — Takeoff Into Chaos
