Thoughts

• išmokti kažką nauja..  <...> išvada tokia: jei jus kažkas kažko moko, vadinasi, tai jau yra išbandyta, tai reiškia, tai užrašyta vadovėliuose ir taip jau daro daugelis. Vadinasi, tai nėra nauja. Tai gali būti nauja tik Jums, kaip asmenybei, bet nebus nauja visuomenei ir pasauliui. Jei Jūs imsite taikyti tai, ko Jus išmokė, jūs imsite taikyti yai, ką taiko dauguma, ir rezultatą gausite tokį, kokį gauna dauguma - vidutinį. Vienas iš lengviausių būdų pasiekti sėkmės ir savirealizacijos aukštumų - pradėti daryti kažką kitaip nei tai daro visi. Norint būti kitokiu, dažnai trukdo įsisavinti standartai, jie sukelia abejones ir nesėkmės baimę. Sugalvoję kažką nauja ar neįprasta dažnai išgirstame: tu ką? kvailas? juk taip niekas nedaro!

• Geriau turėti daug idėjų ir kelias iš jų klaidingas, negu būti teisiam ir apskritai neturėti idėjų. (E. de Bono)
• Creative thinking involves imagining familiar things in a new light, digging below the surface to find preciously undetected patterns, and finding connections among unrelaed phenomena. (Roger von Oech)
• Creativity in allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art of knowing which ones to keep. (Scott Adams)
• Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That's because they were able to connect experiences they've had and synthesize new things. (Steve Jobs)
• Nothing is more dangerous than an idea when it is the only one you have. (Emile Chartier)
• A good idea is like a lighted match, easily blown by the cold winds of rigid management. (Richard Kinder)
• The creative process does not end with an idea - it only starts with an idea. (John Arnold)
• Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity. (George S. Patlon) 
• These days the problem isn't how to innovate; it's how to get society to adopt the good ideas that already exist. (Douglas Engelbart)
• The creative adult is the child who survived.
• Imagination is more important than knowledge. (Albert Einstein)
• The difficulty lies not so much in developing new ideas as in escaping from old ones. (John Maynard Keynes)
