“Il punto critico è la storia di un'idea. E l'idea, semplicemente, è che il modo migliore per comprendere la ragione per cui libri sconosciuti si trasformino improvvisamente in bestseller, oppure l'aumento del fumo tra gli adolescenti, o ancora il fenomeno del passaparola o qualsiasi altro cambiamento misterioso che segni la vita di ogni giorno, è quello di considerarli come epidemie. Idee, prodotti, messaggi e comportamenti si diffondono proprio come fanno i virus.”

Origine: Il punto critico, pp. 14-15

“In quanto essere umani, siamo pesantemente indotti dalla società a creare una sorta di parallelo approssimativo tra causa ed effetto. […] Siamo abituati a pensare che ciò che entra in una qualunque transazione, rapporto o sistema debba essere messo direttamente in relazione, per intensità e dimensioni, a ciò che ne risulta. […] Le epidemie dilagano secondo una progressione geometrica […] In quanto essere umani, ci troviamo a disagio con questo genere di progressione, perché il risultato finale, l'effetto, sembra assolutamente sproporzionato rispetto alla causa. Per comprendere il potere delle epidemie, dobbiamo abbandonare questa visione della proporzionalità e prepararci alla possibilità che, a volte, i grandi cambiamenti derivino da eventi di poco conto e che spesso queste trasformazioni possano verificarsi con grande rapidità.”
