Name the greatest of all inventors. Accident.
Mark Twain

Necessity... the mother of invention.
Plato

Order, unity, and continuity are human inventions, just as truly as catalogues and encyclopedias.
Bertrand Russell

The great creators — the thinkers, the artists, the scientists, the inventors — stood alone against the men of their time. Every great new thought was opposed. Every great new invention was denounced. The first motor was considered foolish. The airplane was considered impossible. The power loom was considered vicious. Anesthesia was considered sinful.
Ayn Rand /The Fountainhead/

Without tradition, art is a flock of sheep without a shepherd. Without innovation, it is a corpse.
Winston Churchill
