James Dyson
Fear is always a good motivator.
James Dyson
Failure is an enigma. You worry about it, and it teaches you something.
James Dyson
If you invent something, you're doing a creative act. It's like writing a novel or composing music. You put your heart and soul into it, and money. It's years of your life, it's your house remortgaged, huge emotional investment and financial investment.
James Dyson
Some of the best inventive moments are born out of 'wrong thinking'. Most people start with the right way so they all follow the same path.

James Dyson

James Dyson
I think the search engines are the new equivalent of publishing: an enabler of information.
James Dyson
Cordless vacuums are designed for quick jobs, but you need enough power to do the job you don't want the power waning over time.
James Dyson
I've obviously used fans - I wouldn't say all my life, because we couldn't afford them when I was young, but from my 20s and onwards we've had to use fans. And I've always loathed them. Everything about them. The way you adjust them, getting them at the angle you want. Carrying them. Cleaning them. The danger of putting your finger in them.
James Dyson
If you really want to improve technology, if you want things to work better and be better, you've got to protect the person who spends a lot of effort, money, and time developing that new technology.
James Dyson
The computer dictates how you do something, whereas with a pencil you're totally free.
James Dyson
An inventor's path is chorused with groans, riddled with fist-banging and punctuated by head scratches.
James Dyson
I was frustrated as a child when I had to use a vacuum. It had a screaming noise and the smell of stale dog and a lack of performance.
