“Concentro-me em uma pergunta: como criar uma disciplina, um ambiente, em que se trabalha para obter um resultado previsível e concreto, sem o perigo de se aventurar guiado apenas por esperanças vagas e irrealistas? Percebo que essa poderia ser uma pergunta válida, em certa medida, para todas as artes humanas, da yoga à música: mas no que se refere aos resultados, no âmbito da inspiração e da criatividade, a gama dos resultados possíveis e imprevistos é vasta demais para não tornar aposta exageradamente ampla.”

“The artist knows total dependence on the unseen reality. The paradox is that the creative process is incomplete unless the artist is, in the best and most proper sense of the word, a technician, one who knows the tools of his trade, has studied his techniques, is disciplined. One writer said, “If I leave my work for a day, it leaves me for three.” I think it was Artur Rubinstein who admitted, “If I don’t practice the piano for one day I know it. If I don’t practice it for two days my family knows it. If I don’t practice it for three days, my public knows it.”

“Persistence and variety. These are the two primary ways to develop great ideas or to solve important problems. Keep leaning your head against a topic for a long time. Certainly for weeks, possibly for years. And along the way, try many lines of attack. Continue to generate options, explore paths, and propose silly ideas. Copy and paste concepts from widely different disciplines and see if it gets you anywhere. All the while, continue to refine the best solution you’ve found thus far. What looks like genius may simply be the byproduct of persistence and variety.”
