Quotes by Sam Harrison (?)

“Sometimes we just need to put down our phones, close our eyes and take a few deep breaths. Ideas are often in flight patterns around our brains, just waiting for clearance to land.”

Sam’s Quotes

“Information is good, but to spot ideas, you want insights. Lots of them. Because ideas aren't spotted in forms. They're spotted in sights -- those revelatory insights seized only when you roam new turfs, meet new people and have new experiences.”

“If you're bored, maybe you're a boring person. With all there is to see and do, there's no excuse for boredom. Get up. Get going. Start a project. Finish a project. Call a friend. Call an enemy. Write something down. Tear something up. Spin something around. Find something true.”
