They are born, put in a box; they go home to live in a box; they study by ticking boxes; they go to what is called work in a box, where they sit in their cubicle box; they drive to the grocery store in a box to buy food in a box; they talk about thinking outside the box ; and when they die they are put in a box.

Nassim Nicholas Taleb
