• We’re taught to do things the right way. But if you want to discover something that other people haven’t, you need to do things the wrong way.

To me, solving problems is a bit like a drug. You’re on it, and you can’t get off.

If you haven’t got that you might as well gather up all the other tools and put them away, because they won’t do you any good.
