Writing ... is the great invention of the world.

I find out what the world needs. Then I go ahead and try to invent it.

I sat in a garage and invented the future.

To a great extent the achievements of invention, of mechanical and of artistic creation, must of necessity, and rightly, be individual rather than governmental.

I think death is the most wonderful invention of life. It purges the system of these old models that are obsolete.

Human subtlety will never devise an invention more beautiful, more simple or more direct than does nature because in her inventions nothing is lacking, and nothing is superfluous.
