“In the beginning the organizer's first job is to create the issues or problems.”
“The first step to solving any problem is to accept one’s own accountability for creating it.”
“Don't think too much. You'll create a problem that wasn't even there in the first place.”
“First comes thought; then organization of that thought, into ideas and plans; then transformation of those plans into reality. The beginning, as you will observe, is in your imagination.”
“It is better for the intellectual not to talk all the time. To begin with, it would exhaust him, and, above all, it would keep him from thinking. He must create if he can, first and foremost, especially if his creation does not side-step the problems of his time.”
“We humans have two great problems: the first is knowing when to begin; the second is knowing when to stop.”
