You can do homework from now until doomsday, but you will never win fame and fortune unless you also invent big ideas…Big ideas come from the unconscious.

—David Ogilvy
You just keep pushing. You just keep pushing. I made every mistake that could be made. But I just kept pushing.
—René Descartes
Many complain of neglect who never tried to attract regard.
—Samuel Johnson
