We have been conditioned to believe that the only prosperous and respectable career choices reside in the left brain - while right-brainers have more influence on society than ever before […]

It is never too late for closet right-brainers to free themselves from the shackles of convention for the boundless exploits of the unfamiliar.

We cannot solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.

The [creative process] is emotive, deeply personal, cathartic and often times traumatizing. Great elation can be achieved when expression touches the Center of The Universe, but things can also darken considerably with a perpetually sour note or the wrong shade of blue.
As such, the reward of artistic creativity is not the pot of gold at the rainbow’s end, but in the mastering of the (very long) chase.

The modern world is conspiring against serendipity. But we cannot blame technology. I have met this enemy, and it is us. We forget: We invented this stuff. We must lead technology, not allow technology to lead us. The world is a better and more cost-effective place because of technology, but we’ve lost the imperfections inherent in humanity - the things that make life a messy and majestic catastrophe.

We must allow ourselves to be surprised. We must relearn how to be human, to start again as we did as children - learning through awkward and bungling discovery. Otherwise, when it’s all over and we face the Distinguished Thing, we will have led extremely efficient but monstrously dull lives.
