    Alex Faickney Osborn (1960). “Applied imagination: principles and procedures of creative problem-solving”
  • In this country we're unprecedentedly safe, comfortable, and well fed, with more and better venues for stimulation. And yet if you were asked, 'Is this a happy or unhappy country?' you'd check the 'unhappy' box. We're living in an era of emotional poverty, which is something that serious drug addicts feel most keenly.

    Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1858). “Letters, conversations, and recollections [ed. by T.Allsop].”, p.79

The joy and moral stimulation of work no longer must be forgotten in the mad chase of evanescent profits. These dark days will be worth all they cost us if they teach us that our true destiny is not to be ministered unto but to minister to ourselves and to our fellow men.

    Lying   Dark   Destiny  
    Franklin D. Roosevelt (2009). “Looking Forward”, p.221, Simon and Schuster
