Edward de Bono
The system will always be defended by those countless people who have enough intellect to defend but not quite enough to innovate.
Edward de Bono
Explaining belief has alwayas been difficult. How do you explain a love and a logic at the heart of the universe when the world is so out of whack? Explaining faith is impossible - vision over visibility - instinct over intellect - a songwriter plays a chore with the faith that he will hear the next one in his head.
Edward de Bono
Logic will never change emotion or perception.
Edward de Bono
Our existing thinking habits are excellent, just as the rear wheels of a motor car are excellent, but not enough.
Edward de Bono
