As much as we may want to withdraw into a world of pure problem solving, we have to acknowledge that the most successful architectures are the ones you can actually convince someone to implement.

The more everybody knows about all aspects of the problems we face, the better off all of us will be. Less time spent explaining things means more time for coming up with creative solutions.

There is always an easy solution to every problem – neat, plausible, and wrong.

Because thought has by now been perverted into the solving of assigned problems, even what is not assigned is processed like a problem.

When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don’t adjust the goals, adjust the action steps.

Problem solving is hunting. It is savage pleasure and we are born to it.

For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.

No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.

It is a common experience that a problem difficult at night is resolved in the morning after the committee of sleep has worked on it.
