Albert O. Hirschman Quotes

The Secret Of Creativity Is Then To Place Yourself In Situations Where You've Got To Be Creative, But This Is Done Only When One Doesn't Know In Advance That One Will Have To Be Creative. This, In Turn, Is So Because We Underestimate Our Creative Resources; Quite Properly, We Cannot Believe In Our Creativity Until We Experience It; And Since We Thus Necessarily Underestimate Our Creative Resources We Do Not Consciously Engage Upon Tasks Which We Know Require Such Resources; Hence The Only Way In Which We Can Bring Our Creative Resources Into Play Is By Similarly Underestimating The Difficulty Of A Task.
