Geniuses and crazy people are both out in the middle of a deep ocean; geniuses swim, crazy people drown. Most of us are sitting safely on the shore. Take a chance and get your feet wet."
"Confusion is the welcome mat at the door of creativity."
"Life is a continuous exercise in creative problem solving."

"Every composer knows the anguish and despair occasioned by forgetting ideas which one has not time to write down."
