“It is the function of creative man to perceive and to connect the seemingly unconnected.”
William Plomer
“Creativity is the power to connect the seemingly unconnected.”
“There is much to be said for having an experienced international jurist who is entirely unconnected with the allied invaders, on the tribunal.”
Saddam Hussein
“It's so fantastic and so unconnected to factual support, and so prejudicial.”
Clark Brewster
“It is the function of creative men to perceive the relations between thoughts, or things, or forms of expression that may seem utterly different, and to be able to combine them into some new forms -- the power to connect the seemingly unconnected.”
“To perceive is to suffer.”
Aristotle
“The people of your culture cling with fanatical tenacity to the specialness of man. They want desperately to perceive a vast gulf between man and the rest of creation. This mythology of human superiority justifies their doing whatever they please with the world, just the way Hitler’s mythology of Aryan superiority justified his doing whatever he pleased with Europe. But in the end this mythology is not deeply satisfying. The Takers are a profoundly lonely people. The world for them is enemy territory, and they live in it like an army of occupation, alienated and isolated by their extraordinary specialness.”
Daniel Quinn
