“Every artist was first an amateur.” – – Ralph Waldo Emerson [1803-1882] American essayist, lecturer, and poet
“The first job of the man who has a problem must be to become better acquainted with it. The way to do this is by producing an inadequate solution to the problem – a speculation – and by criticizing this. To understand a problem means, in effect, to understand its difficulties; and this cannot be done until we see why the more obvious solutions do not work Even in those cases where no satisfactory answer turns up we may learn something from this procedure.” – – William Bartley [1934-1990] American philosopher and author
