“Necessity is indeed an effective mother of invention—motivation and exercising a clever and concentrated approach are needed to succeed at something that’s difficult. It’s not enough to try to draw a tree every day; figuring out what makes the tree hard to draw and tackling that persistently—perhaps by finding a new way to draw it or see it differently—is more the core of the problem. We generally develop skills as we need them. And being creative is sometimes what a person needs to be.” – Mei Tan

“It was a splendid population – for all the slow, sleepy, sluggish-brained sloths stayed at home – you never find that sort of people among pioneers – you cannot build pioneers out of that sort of material. It was that population that gave to California a name for getting up astounding enterprises and rushing them through with a magnificent dash and daring and a recklessness of cost or consequences, which she bears unto this day – and when she projects a new surprise the grave world smiles as usual and says, "Well, that is California all over.”“ – Mark Twain
