Henry Petroski Quotes
The Plain Wooden Toothpick, It May Be Argued, Is Among The Simplest Of Manufactured Things. It Consists Of A Single Part, Made Of A Single Material, Intended For A Single Purpose-from Which It Gets Its Simple Name. It Is Also Among The Most Convenient And Ready Of Things. It Can Be Used Directly Out Of The Box-there Being No Instructions To Read, No Parts To Assemble, No Priming Or Booting Required, And No Maintenance Expected. When It Has Served Its Purpose, It Is Simply Discarded.
