The Hallmark of a Creative Leap
“The more original a discovery, the more obvious it seems afterwards.”
–Arthur Koestler (Hungarian-born British Writer and Philosopher, 1905-1983)
Habits Have Their Place, But…
“Habit is the denial of creativity and the negation of freedom; a self-imposed straitjacket of which the wearer is unaware.”
–Arthur Koestler (Hungarian-born British Writer and Philosopher, 1905-1983)
Taking Calculated Risks
“If the creator had a purpose in equipping us with a neck, he surely meant us to stick it out.”
–Arthur Koestler (Hungarian-born British Writer and Philosopher, 1905-1983)
The Intuitive Leap
“The moment of truth, the sudden emergence of a new insight, is an act of intuition. Such intuitions give the appearance of miraculous flushes, or short-circuits of reasoning. In fact they may be likened to an immersed chain, of which only the beginning and the end are visible above the surface of consciousness. The diver vanishes at one end of the chain and comes up at the other end, guided by invisible links.”
–Arthur Koestler (Hungarian-born British Writer and Philosopher, 1905-1983)
