More quotes by Edwin Land
Profundity and originality are attributes of single, if not singular, minds.
Edwin Land
Don't do anything that someone else can do.
Edwin Land
I believe each incoming freshman [in college] must be started at once on his own research project if we are to preserve his secret dream of greatness and make it come true.
Edwin Land
Over the years, I have learned that every significant invention has several characteristics. By definition it must be startling, unexpected, and must come into a world that is not prepared for it. If the world were prepared for it, it would not be much of an invention.
Edwin Land
I believe that each young person is different from any other who has ever lived, as different as his fingerprints: that he could bring to the world a wonderful and special way of solving unsolved problems, that in his special way, he can be great.
Edwin Land
Creativity is the sudden cessation of stupidity.
Edwin Land
The world is like a fertile field that's waiting to be harvested. The seeds have been planted, and what I do is go out and help plant more seeds and harvest them.
Edwin Land
Someone is going to make your product obsolete. Make sure it's you.
Edwin Land
You cannot separate the composition from the life of the moment. It is all one thing, to be decided in a split second while you're living through it.
Edwin Land
Anything worth doing is worth doing to excess.
Edwin Land
The bottom line is in heaven!
Edwin Land
There's a rule they don't teach you at the Harvard Business School. It is, if anything is worth doing, it's worth doing to excess.
Edwin Land
An invention that is quickly accepted will turn out to be a rather trivial alteration of something that has already existed.
Edwin Land
Do not do anything that anyone else can do readily.
Edwin Land
It's not that we need new ideas, but we need to stop having old ideas.
Edwin Land
The world belongs to the articulate.
Edwin Land
In a few wretched buildings, we created a whole new industry with international significance.
Edwin Land
A premature attempt to explain something that thrills you will destroy your perceptivity rather than increase it, because your tendency will be to explain away rather than seek out.
Edwin Land
You always start with a fantasy. Part of the fantasy technique is to visualize something as perfect. Then with the experiments you work back from the fantasy to reality, hacking away at the components.
Edwin Land
The future may require not so much having a new idea as stopping having an old idea.
Edwin Land
