Milton Glaser on Creativity

"Creativity is a verb, and it is a very time consuming verb.  It’s about taking an idea in your head, and transforming that idea into something real.  And that’s always going to be a long and difficult process."

- Milton Glaser, as quoted in Jonah Lehrer’s Imagine: Call no. BF408 .L455 2012, Manhattan Library

JP Rangaswami: Information is Food

"...'There is no such animal as information overload, there is only filter failure.' I put it to you that information, if viewed from the point of food, is never a production issue; you never speak of food overload. Fundamentally, it's a consumption issue. And we have to start thinking about how we create diets within ourselves, exercise within ourselves to have the faculties to deal with information, to have the labeling to be able to do it responsibly..."
                                 -- JP Rangaswami
