创造力不仅仅是拥有新想法,而是使这些想法具有实际用途。
那些无法掌控主导他们生活的故事的人,无法重述、重新思考、解构、嘲笑并随着变化而改变它的人,真正是无力的,因为他们无法思考新的思想。
I think we have been through a period where too many people have been given to understand that if they have a problem, it's the government's job to cope with it. 'I have a problem, I'll get a grant.' 'I'm homeless, the government must house me.' They're casting their problem on society. And, you know, there is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women, and there are families. And no government can do anything except through people, and people must look to themselves first. It's our duty to look after ourselves and then, also to look after our neighbour. People have got the entitlements too much in mind, without the obligations.
