“Není snadné zůstat nad věcí a s kamennou tváří vést odborné debaty o modelování konečných prvků a specifických vlastnostech půdních profilů uprostřed místnosti polepené obrázky nahých žen.”

“Québeckého mostu přes řeku Svatého Vavřince v Kanadě Zřícení mostu zapříčinilo hned několik pochybení. Především se ukázalo, jak nebezpečné je svěřit veškerou moc do rukou jediného inženýra bez dostatečného dozoru.”

“Všechny dochované cihly se bez ohledu na velikost vyznačovaly dokonalým poměrem stran 4 : 2 : 1 (délka : šířka : výška). Stejný poměr používají stavební inženýři (víceméně) dodnes: cihla rovnoměrně prosychá, lze s ní snadno pracovat a nabízí dostatečnou plochu k navázání dalších cihel bez ohledu na použitou maltu či pojivo.”
