5 Principals of Invention

Scientist: Jacob Bronowski
" A man brings together two facets of reality and by discovering a likeness between them, suddenly makes them one."

Writer: Arthur Koestler
"...and mental occurrence simultaneously associated with two habitually incompatible contexts."

Mathematician: Jacques Hadamard
"...invention or discovery takes place by combining ideas."

Poet: Pierre Reverdy
"The more distant and distinct the relationship between the two realities that are brought together, the more powerful the image."

Psychiatrist: Anthony Starr
"New discoveries in science and mathematics often consist of a synthesis between theories or concepts which have hitherto been regarded as unconnected."
