“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.”

Malcolm Gladwell in: Pamela Paul (2014), By the Book: : Writers on Literature and the Literary Life from The New York Times Book Review. p. 238

““Outlier” is a scientific term to describe things or phenomena that lie outside normal experience. In the summer, in Paris, we expect most days to be somewhere between warm and very hot. But imagine if you had a day in the middle of August where the temperature fell below freezing. That day would be outlier. And while we have a very good understanding of why summer days in Paris are warm or hot, we know a good deal less about why a summer day in Paris might be freezing cold. In this book I’m interested in people who are outliers—in men and women who, for one reason or another, are so accomplished and so extraordinary and so outside of ordinary experience that they are as puzzling to the rest of us as a cold day in August.”

“You’re always, as a journalist, walking this fine line between faithfully representing the complexity of the thing you’re writing about and retaining your readers. The finest piece of journalism in the world is of no use if no one reads it. And getting people to read it requires compromises and sacrifices and all kinds of things. It is very hard to get it perfectly right. But I feel like over time, most good journalists, I think, do a pretty good job of balancing those things…”

“The problems with framing it in terms of race is not that it is inaccurate, it absolutely is effective…but the minute you raise race, you derail the conversation and it becomes possible to dismiss this whole story as a story about a racist cop. Now he may be a racist cop, but that is not the issue, the issue is that the system with the best intentions set him up in a certain way.”
