Quote #10

"They worried, Mrs. Olinski, because you were on the verge of choosing another. Such a choice would have been disastrous."

Mrs. Olinski had never told anyone—anyone—that she had been on the verge of choosing another. […] "But I did not," she said defensively. (8.32-3)

Mrs. Olinski selected her team wisely, even though she didn't know why she was making the choices she was. In fact, choosing based on gut—wisdom—turns out to have been wiser than choosing based on knowledge.
