Dee and I visited the American History Museum while we were in Washington D.C. two weekends ago. There was a great exhibit there on inventors and inventions.
The quotes there were inspiring:
""All sorts of things can happen when you're open to new ideas and playing around with things.”
--Stephane Kwolek, inventor
“I didn’t have the notion of being an inventor as a kid -- I was too busy inventing."
--James McLurkin, inventor
"You can discover more about a person in an hour of play in one year of conversation."
--Plato
"To invent you need a good imagination and a pile of junk."
--Thomas Edison
"Legos are based on the idea that a limited number of structural units can provide almost unlimited opportunities for the imagination."
--Robert & Michele Root-Bernstein, historians
"You can't learn anything from experiences you're not having.
--Louis L'Amour, author
What is an inventor: "An inventor is someone who creates something new to solve a problem or address a need."
--Exhibit at American History Museum
