Edward De Bono said this quote

There is no doubt that creativity is the most important human resource of all. Without creativity, there would be no progress, and we would be forever repeating the same patterns.

~ Edward De Bono

Creativity involves provocation, exploration and risk taking. Creativity involves thought experiments. You cannot tell in advance how the experiment is going to turn out. But you want to be able to carry out the experiment.

~ Edward De Bono

Critical thinking does seem a superior sort of thinking because it seems as though the critic is actually going beyond the scope of what is being criticized in order to criticize it. That is only rarely a true assumption because, most often, the critic will seize on some little aspect that he or she understands and tackle only that.

~ Edward De Bono

The image that concerns most people is the reflection they see in other people's minds.
