Edwin Land

Science is a method to keep yourself from kidding yourself.

An essential aspect of creativity is not being afraid to fail.

Marketing is what you do when your product is no good.

Its not that we need new ideas, but we need to stop having old ideas.

Don’t undertake a project unless it is manifestly important and nearly impossible.

Creativity is the sudden cessation of stupidity.

Any problem can be solved using the materials in the room.

If you dream of something worth doing and then simply go to work on it and don’t think anything of personalities, or emotional conflicts, or of money, or of family distractions; it is amazing how quickly you get through those 5,000 steps.

Politeness is the poison of collaboration.

Every creative act is a sudden cessation of stupidity.

The most important thing about power is to make sure you don’t have to use it.
