Peter, here's what I have scraped up for you:
a URL where the quote appears:
http://bcn.boulder.co.us/community/religious/cucc/cuccecho1299.html
   "... Margaret Wheatley, who says that, in a relational universe,
    it's not enough to understand 'one', or to understand more than
    one as 'one' and 'one'.  You have to understand the 'and' in
    'one and one'."
Margaret Wheatley, btw, is a scientist of the later part of the 20th
century and probably will extend her work into the 21st century when it
actually comes around next January 1st ...
Margaret Wheatley is president of the Berkana Institute, a non-profit
educational and scientific research foundation supporting the discovery
of new organizational forms. She is also a principal of Kellner-Rogers &
Wheatley, Inc., a consulting firm that focuses on applying natural
science principles in self-organization that engage the intelligence of
the entire organization to respond to change continuously.
You might want to check your local public library for her book,
"Leadership and the New Science: Learning about Organization from an
Orderly Universe", 1992.
She also co-authored a book entitled "A Simpler Way", with Myron
Kellner-Rogers ... the partner in her consulting firm.
Perhaps the quotation is in there . . .
