“There is no problem more difficult to solve than that created by ourselves.”

“Cities are never random. No matter how chaotic they might seem, everything about them grows out of a need to solve a problem. In fact, a city is nothing more than a solution to a problem, that in turn creates more problems that need more solutions, until towers rise, roads widen, bridges are built, and millions of people are caught up in a mad race to feed the problem-solving, problem-creating frenzy.”

“Science never solves a problem without creating ten more”

“Violence brings only temporary victories; violence, by creating many more social problems than it solves, never brings permanent peace.”

“Far more interesting than problem solving is problem creation.”

“Engineers like to solve problems. If there are no problems handily available, they will create their own problems.”
