Japan's very interesting. Some people think it copies things. I don't think that anymore. I think what they do is reinvent things. They will get something that's already been invented and study it until they thoroughly understand it. In some cases, they understand it better than the original inventor.
Steve Jobs
Man has made use of his intelligence, he invented stupidity.
Remy de Gourmont
Man invented language to satisfy his deep need to complain.

Heinrich Heine
Matter of fact, the style that people use today, I invented in a way.
John Milius
Maybe my caveman ancestors invented the wheel or something. I'm not sure.
Brendan Fraser
Morality, like language, is an invented structure for conserving and communicating order. And morality is learned, like language, by mimicking and remembering.
Jane Rule
Most Americans think Abner Doubleday invented the game but he had little or nothing to do with cricket.
Henry Chadwick
Most people are really stunned to find out that the technology has been around for more than 100 years, and that the diesel engine was in fact invented to run on vegetable oil.
Daryl Hannah
Mother goddesses are just as silly a notion as father gods. If a revival of the myths of these cults gives woman emotional satisfaction, it does so at the price of obscuring the real conditions of life. This is why they were invented in the first place.
Angela Carter
Music was invented to confirm human loneliness.
Lawrence Durrell
My father hated radio and could not wait for television to be invented so he could hate that too.

Oliver Wendell Holmes
No one has ever written, painted, sculpted, modeled, built, or invented except literally to get out of hell.
Antonin Artaud
No one person invented Mulberry. The knowledge that we had to have this floating harbor slowly grew.
Lord Mountbatten
Nobel was a genuine friend of peace. He even went so far as to believe that he had invented a tool of destruction, dynamite, which would make war so senseless that it would become impossible. He was wrong.
Alva Myrdal
Nobody ever invented a polite word for a killing yet.
Thelma Ritter
Nothing is invented and perfected at the same time.
John Ray
Of all possible debauches, traveling is the greatest that I know; that's the one they invented when they got tired of all the others.
Gustave Flaubert
