We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.
--Albert Einstein
Penser est facile; agir est difficile; agir suivant sa pensée est ce qu'il y a au monde de plus difficile.
--Goethe
Attempting to solve problems using the tools, techniques and thoughts which create them is silly.
--Milo Clark
You never change the existing reality by fighting it. Instead, create a new model that makes the old one obsolete.
--Buckminster Fuller
Be the change that you want to see in the world.
--Gandhi
