Don't let the secret recipe die with the inventor.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I guess that's just the life of an inventor: what people do with your ideas takes you totally by surprise.
I'm an inventor.
When I started to write culinary mysteries, I did it because nobody was doing it anymore.
The secret of business is to know something that nobody else knows.
I'm not a designer, I'm an inventor.
When I make a recipe for the first time and it's fabulous, I know I'm in trouble because I don't know exactly what I did, and I can't replicate it.
I would consider myself an inventor at heart, or reinventor.
People equate patents with secrecy, that secrecy is what patents were designed to overcome. That's why the formula for Coca-Cola was never patented. They kept it as a trade secret, and they've outlasted patent laws by 80 years or more.
Our inventions mirror our secret wishes.
Never let an inventor run a company. You can never get him to stop tinkering and bring something to market.
