“Geffen is now worth around $6 billion.

Not by being better, or tougher, or faster, or smarter, or richer, or better educated than other people.

Not by trying to beat other people at their own game.
But by looking at other people and thinking, ‘What aren’t they doing?”

“One of the best advertising people ever was Carl Ally. He said the true creative person wants to be a know-it-all. They want to know about all kinds of things: ancient history, nineteenth-century mathematics, modern manufacturing techniques, flower arranging, and lean hog futures. Because they never know when these ideas might come together to form a new idea. It may happen six minutes later or six years down the road, but they know it will happen.”

“Great mathematicians are born with a brain fundamentally different from ours. We may as well be clear about the first one: no, mathematicians don’t think logically.
