A significant inventionmust be startling, unexpected. It must come to a world that is not prepared for it.

Profundity and originality are attributes of single, if not singular, minds.

There is no such thing as group originality, group creativity or group perspicacity.

The future may require not so much having a new idea as stopping having an old idea.

The test of an invention is the power of an inventor to push it through in the face of staunch-not opposition, but indifference-in society.

My motto is very personal and may not fit anyone else or any other company. It is: Don't do anything that someone else can do. Don't undertake a project unless it is manifestly important and nearly impossible.

Anything worth doing is worth doing to excess.
