Organizations, by their very nature are designed to promote order and routine. They are inhospitable environments for innovation.

Ideas are useless unless used. The proof of their value is in their implementation. Until then, they are in limbo.

People don't want quarter-inch drills. They want quarter-inch holes.

Nothing drives progress like the imagination. The idea precedes the deed. The only exceptions are accidents and natural selection.

Creative people tend to pass the responsibility for getting down to brass tacks to others.

One should not focus on the differences between people but look for commonality and similarity.

The fact that a consistendy highly creative person is generally irresponsible in the sense that we have used this term is in part predictable from what is known about the freewheeling fantasies of very young children.
