Edith WidderI am convinced that an electronic machine, no matter how smart and intelligent, being still a mere spatial structure in concept, can neither innovate nor even understand the self-evident proposition: 'No spatial structure can be a representation of any feeling'. Such innovation can only be a work of a non-spatial mind, like a human being, and only such innovation, it should be acknowledged, can pave the way for further scientific achievements.
Kedar JoshiOnce you have an innovation culture, even those who are not scientists or engineers - poets, actors, journalists - they, as communities, embrace the meaning of what it is to be scientifically literate.

Nolan BushnellIn 1847 I gave an address at Newton, Mass., before a Teachers' Institute conducted by Horace Mann. My subject was grasshoppers. I passed around a large jar of these insects, and made every teacher take one and hold it while I was speaking. If any one dropped the insect, I stopped till he picked it up. This was at that time a great innovation, and excited much laughter and derision. There can be no true progress in the teaching of natural science until such methods become general.

So that's essential for innovation just like it is in technology.
Charles KochI'm sure that in the fullness of time we'll learn that one or more of these seemingly promising technologies were dead ends.

Some of these will be grand successes, some of them will be average, and some of them will be abject failures.

It is easy to be cynical about such things, much harder to be successful.

They would be changed from time to time; there was research and development, to be sure. But the system was built around production, not innovation.

Michelangelo AntonioniThey don't encourage quality today. When I was coming along, Columbia Records would sit with you and assume it would take two or three albums to get the act where it needed to be.

They encouraged quality and innovation - that's why groups like the Beatles would use sitars, string orchestras and so forth.
