“Klaus leaned out the window and began to pour the mixture of blackstrap molasses, wild clover honey, corn syrup, aged balsamic vinegar, apple butter, strawberry jam, caramel sauce, maple syrup, butterscotch topping, maraschino liqueur, virgin and extra-virgin olive oil, lemon curd, dried apricots, mango chutney, crema di noci, tamarind paste, hot mustard, marshmallows, creamed corn, peanut butter, grape preserves, salt water taffy, condensed milk, pumpkin pie filling, and glue onto the closest wheels, while his sister tossed the hammocks out of the door, and if you have read anything of the Baudelaire orphans' lives - which I hope you have not - then you will not be surprised to read that Violet's invention worked perfectly.”

Victoria E. Schwab
“Of all the inventions Addie has seen her ushered into the world â€� steam-powered trains, electric lights, photography, and phones, and airplanes, and computers â€� movies might just be her favorite one.
Books are wonderful, portable, lasting, but sitting there, in the darkened theater, the wide screen filling her vision, the world falls away, and for a few short hours she is someone else, plunged into romance and intrigue and comedy and adventure.”
V.E. Schwab, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

Thomas Sowell
“One of the greatest inventions of the 20th century -- indeed, one of the landmark inventions in the history of the human race -- was the work of a couple of young men who had never gone to college and who were just bicycle mechanics in Dayton, Ohio.
That part of the United States is often referred to as 'flyover country' because it is part of America that the east coast and west coast elites fly over on their way to what they consider more important places. But they are able to fly over it only because of those mechanics in Dayton.”
Thomas Sowell

“Advances in technology can be empowering, progressive and enriching. History has shown this across civilisations and societies. But it has also shown, and the present and future will continue to show, that it is foolish, risky, flawed and folly without us raising our individual and collective consciousness and mindfulness to accompany it - to ensure we use it shrewdly, kindly and wisely.”
Rasheed Ogunlaru

Kalyan C. Kankanala, Fun IP, Fundamentals of Intellectual Property

“The FDA does not exist to protect you. They do no testing on any products. The FDA is a system that protects a person or person(s) from selling a product or products that could cause someone very important to lose money to others who may use that money and power to due them harm.”
James Thomas Kesterson Jr

“Thomas Edison was no an inventor but a very evil wealthy man with connections to the most wealthy Americans. He killed animals in order to demonize Nikola Tesla, the greatest inventor in human history. However, you will never learn about Tesla in any school system because he never wanted to be wealthy and his inventions were for the purpose of helping mankind. When JP Morgan, one of the most evil wealthy men in America, found out that Tesla wanted to give every human in the world free electricity, he stopped paying him and destroyed his invention to supply that free electricity. This is why you'll never learn about Tesla in the public school system.”
James Thomas Kesterson Jr

Victoria E. Schwab
“Of all the inventions Addie has seen ushered into the world—steam-powered trains, electric lights, photography, and phones, and airplanes, and computers—movies might just be her favorite one.
Books are wonderful, portable, lasting, but sitting there, in the darkened theater, the wide screen filling her vision, the world falls away, and for a few short hours she is someone else, plunged into romance and intrigue and comedy and adventure. All of it complete with 4K picture and stereo sound.
A quiet heaviness fills her chest when the credits roll. For a while she was weightless, but now she returns to herself, sinking until her feet are back on the ground.”
V.E. Schwab, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

“An artist must take comfort that there's no satisfaction whatsoever with one's creation, just a dissatisfaction that keeps one a step away from sliding into mediocrity.”
Val Uchendu

Amy Leach
“Our inventions have long been ahead of us in terms of efficiency and sanity, productivity and predictability. Oh, how we’ve wished we could be manmade, too. What has been keeping us back, keeping us messy? The animal impediment, within and without. Eliminating these impediments, we will surely be catching up with our machines, resembling them more and more impeccably.”
Amy Leach, Things That Are

“Patents are not forever, but inventions are”
Kalyan C. Kankanala, Fun IP, Fundamentals of Intellectual Property

Kalyan C. Kankanala, Fun IP, Fundamentals of Intellectual Property

Clement Ogedegbe
“Without conversion of potentials, almost nothing will exist. We could have a world of about 7.6billion people full of potentials and yet not have any devices, food, inventions, houses, cars, phones, music, books etc. if these people do not convert their potentials. Life will be void and useless if people do not convert their potentials”
CLEMENT OGEDEGBE

Sunday Adelaja, No One Is Better Than You

Etgar Keret
“He invented ordinary things, and I stress, ordinary. Not brilliant, just ordinary, and that's exactly what humanity needs. Brilliant inventions might be good for brilliant people, but how many brilliant people are there? On the other hand, ordinary inventions are good for everyone.”
Etgar Keret, The Nimrod Flipout

Etgar Keret
“I mean, there aren't many inventions that actually succeed in meeting some human need. Ninety-nine percent of them are just some ugly combo of pushy marketing and spineless consumers.”

John  Wilson
“„Well James,â€� he said addressing me, as he does the officers in his command, informally, „it is true that many of our recent inventions will become much improved with use, and one day soon we may even have engines which do not break down with so much wheezing and groaning every two days of use, but I firmly believe that, while machines are perfectible, men are not.
Even a perfect machine must be run by men and, hence, subject to human errors. Take our situation as an example. Our machines keep us safe and warm, yet a simple mistake on our part, such as choosing one channel over another, could bring it all to naught and place us at the mercy of elemental nature. I believe we should work on the perfection of men before we worry overly about the perfection of his machines.”
John Wilson, North With Franklin: The Lost Journals of James Fitzjames

Shing-Tung Yau
“A lot of the mathematics discoveries occur through lucky accidents like that, [Calabi notes]. It's often a matter of connecting up ideas that might seem unrelated and then exploiting the newfound connection.”
Shing-Tung Yau, The Shape of Inner Space: String Theory and the Geometry of the Universe's Hidden Dimensions

Graham Moore
“Edison and a few others had been working on improvements to Alexander Bell’s initial “telephoneâ€� device. Tesla was attempting to make the devices work without the aid of any wires at all. One didn’t have to be much of a scientist to know that this was absurd. Even if by some miracle Tesla managed to make them function, who in the world would have any use for them?”
Graham Moore, The Last Days of Night

“Great inventors today or killed off long before we ever hear about them and their inventions stolen and developed by the wealthy as original ideas. This is why America has not produced one great inventor in the last 100 years and will never produce another great inventor.”
James Thomas Kesterson Jr
