Innovators Quotes

“The people who work within these industries or public services know that there are basic flaws. But they are almost forced to ignore them and to concentrate instead on patching here, improving there, fighting the fire or caulking that crack. They are thus unable to take the innovation seriously, let alone to try to compete with it. They do not, as a rule, even notice it until it has grown so big as to encroach on their industry or service, by which time it has become irreversible. In the meantime, the innovators have the field to themselves.”

“Legendary innovators like Franklin, Snow, and Darwin all possess some common intellectual qualities—a certain quickness of mind, unbounded curiosity—but they also share one other defining attribute. They have a lot of hobbies.”

“Behind every successful innovation, was a presentation in a closed room”

“Innovators are inevitably controversial.”

“We are not creators; only combiners of the created. Invention isn't about new ingredients, but new recipes. And innovations taste the best.”

“People who can solve problems in a new way are the innovators.”
