An extraordinary amount of arrogance is present in any claim of having been the first in inventing something.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Almost all new ideas have a certain aspect of foolishness when they are first produced.
In other words, what is supposedly found is an invention whose inventor is unaware of his act of invention, who considers it as something that exists independently of him; the invention then becomes the basis of his world view and actions.
I'm wary of the word 'inventing,' because in the British psyche the word 'inventor' is immediately linked with 'mad'. For me, inventing is problem-solving.
People who've had very unhappy childhoods are pretty good at inventing themselves. If nobody invents you for yourself, nothing is left but to invent yourself for others.
Nothing is invented and perfected at the same time.
Learning and innovation go hand in hand. The arrogance of success is to think that what you did yesterday will be sufficient for tomorrow.
To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk.
A created thing is never invented and it is never true: it is always and ever itself.
Nobody really invents anything that hasn't been done before.
The true success is the person who invented himself.
