THINKING CREATIVELY

An idea is nothing more or less than a new combination of old elements

- Webb Young

An idea is delicate, it can be killed by a sneer or a yawn; it can be stabbed to death by a quip and worried to death by a frown on the right man’s brow.

- Charles Brower

We cannot open ourselves to new insights without endangering the security of our prior assumptions. We cannot propose new ideas without risking disapproval or rejection.
