QUOTES

Discovery consists of seeing what everybody has seen and thinking what nobody has thought.
~Albert Szent-Györgyi
You can't wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club.
~Jack London The Proud Highway: Saga of a Desperate Southern Gentleman
Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try! ~Dr. Seuss, Oh, the Thinks You Can Think!
I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities.
~Theodore Geisel
I think it's fair to say that personal computers have become the most empowering tool we've ever created. They're tools of communication, they're tools of creativity, and they can be shaped by their user.
~ Bill Gates

ODD QUOTES

Nothing encourages creativity like the chance to fall flat on one's face.
~James D. Finley
My alphabet starts with this letter called yuzz. It's the letter I use to spell yuzz-a-ma-tuzz. You'll be sort of surprised what there is to be found once you go beyond 'Z' and start poking around!
~Dr. Seuss
