One of Steve's newest web sites is http://www.Metaphorology.com, which looks at how to use metaphors to generate new ideas, and to change one's experience of life.

We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them. - Albert Einstein

 

Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try! - Dr. Seuss

 

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it. - Aristotle

 

Life is "trying things to see if they work." - Ray Bradbury

 

Logic is an organized way of going wrong with confidence. - Robert Heinlein

 

If devotion to truth is the hallmark of morality, then there is no greater, nobler, more heroic form of devotion than the act of a man who assumes the responsibility of thinking... the alleged short-cut to knowledge, which is faith, is only a short-circuit destroying the mind. - Ayn Rand

 

Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it. - Siddhartha Gautama (Buddha)

 

To challenge a premise is to open a door for a look at what's inside. We are free to enter or not, stay or leave. But refusing to open that door is to refuse the treasure that may be but a few steps away. - Steve Gillman

 

Having new ideas is easy - making something of them is where the hard work begins. - Steve Gillman

 

From the most playful thoughts great truths are discovered. - Steve Gillman

 

Logic only proves an argument correct according to the terms defined, but reality is never contained in or constrained by our words. - Steve Gillman
