“Ideas are mutable. They are always capable of growing. Each time we look at them, we can see something new. We just need to give ourselves permission to do so.”

“Even though you may have started out saying you wanted imaginative, novel ideas, the tendency to drift back into the conventional is powerful.”

“Preliminary ideas are often weak and impure, and need to be driven through a forge in order to become powerful, workable solutions.”
