Thinking Is One Thing No One Has

We Suffer Not From Overproduction But From Undercirculation. You Have Heard Of Technocracy. I Wish I Had Those Fellows For My Competitors. I'd Like To Take The Automobile It Is Said They Predicted Could Be Made Now That Would Last Fifty Years. Even If Never Used, This Automobile Would Not Be Worth Anything Except To A Junkman In Ten Years, Because Of The Changes In Men's Tastes And Ideas. This Desire For Change Is An Inherent Quality In Human Nature, So That The Present Generation Must Not Try To Crystallize The Needs Of The Future Ones.

You Can Send A Message Around The World In One-fifth Of A Second, Yet It May Take Years For It To Get From The Outside Of A Man's Head To The Inside.

You Must Take The Problem As It Is, And Let It Be What It Wants To Be.

All Human Development, No Matter What Form It Takes, Must Be Outside The Rules; Otherwise We Would Never Have Anything New.
