Text Quotes
It’s a hard thing to describe. It’s just this sense that you got something to say.  (Jonah Lehrer Quotes) For too long, we’ve assumed that there is a single template for human nature, which is why we diagnose most deviations as disorders. But the reality is that there are many different kinds of minds. And that’s a very good thing.  (Jonah Lehrer Quotes) A few years ago, Tor Wager, a neuroscientist at Columbia University, wanted to figure out why placebos were so effective. His experiment was brutally straightforward: he gave college students electric shocks while they were stuck in an fMRI machine. (The subjects were well compensated, at least by undergraduate standards.)  (Jonah Lehrer Quotes) A lie told well is just as good as the truth  (Jonah Lehrer Quotes) The inconsistency of genius is a consistent theme of creativity  (Jonah Lehrer Quotes) The answer will only arrive after we stop looking for it  (Jonah Lehrer Quotes) When we venture beyond the edge of our knowledge, all we have is art  (Jonah Lehrer Quotes) Grit is the stubborn refusal to quit  (Jonah Lehrer Quotes) The best way to solve a problem? Try explaining it to somebody outside your field  (Jonah Lehrer Quotes) To have a style is to be stuck  (Jonah Lehrer Quotes) Design is the conscious imposition of meaningful order  (Jonah Lehrer Quotes) ... new ideas are merely several old thoughts that occur at the exact same time  (Jonah Lehrer Quotes) Creativity is a catchall term for a variety of distinct thought processes  (Jonah Lehrer Quotes) And so we keep on thinking, because the next thought might be the answer  (Jonah Lehrer Quotes) Children can’t help but create: they need to put their mind on the page, they want to paint, to sculpt, to write short stories  (Jonah Lehrer Quotes) Just because an idea is true doesn’t mean it can be proved. And just because an idea can be proved doesn’t mean it’s true  (Jonah Lehrer Quotes) There simply is no way to describe the past without lying. Our memories are not like fiction. They are fiction  (Jonah Lehrer Quotes) By the age of 3, children from wealthier households hear, on average, about 500,000 encouragements and 80,000 discouragements. The ratio is reversed in households on welfare  (Jonah Lehrer Quotes) For too long, we’ve assumed that there is a single template for human nature, which is why we diagnose most deviations as disorders. But the reality is that there are many different kinds of minds. And that’s a very good thing  (Jonah Lehrer Quotes) It is ironic but true: the one reality science cannot reduce is the only reality we will ever know. This is why we need art. By expressing our actual experience, the artist reminds us that our science is incomplete, that no map of matter will ever explain the immateriality of our consciousness  (Jonah Lehrer Quotes) What you discover when you look at creativity from the perspective of the brain is that it is universal. We’re all creative all of the time, we can’t help but be creative  (Jonah Lehrer Quotes) If you’re trying to be more creative, one of the most important things you can do is increase the volume and diversity of the information to which you are exposed  (Jonah Lehrer Quotes) I always wanted to be a scientist, I always thought I’d be a scientist, that was the narrative I was carrying around. I worked in a neuroscience lab as an undergraduate and then after, almost five years in total, but I realized I just wasn’t good at science. I didn’t have the discipline for it  (Jonah Lehrer Quotes) Creativity is a spark. It can be excruciating when we’re rubbing two rocks together and getting nothing. And it can be intensely satisfying when the flame catches and a new idea sweeps around the world  (Jonah Lehrer Quotes) Creativity is not a trait that we inherit in our genes or a blessing bestowed by the angels. It’s a skill  (Jonah Lehrer Quotes) Every creative story is different. And every creative story is the same. There was nothing. Now there is something. It’s almost like magic  (Jonah Lehrer Quotes) People assume that they perceive reality as it is, that our senses accurately record the outside world. Yet the science suggests that, in important ways, people experience reality not as it is, but as they expect it to be  (Jonah Lehrer Quotes) We need to be willing to risk embarrassment, ask silly questions, surround ourselves with people who don’t know what we’re talking about. We need to leave behind the safety of our expertise  (Jonah Lehrer Quotes) Cities force us to interact with strangers and with the strange. They pry the mind open. And that is why they are the idea that has unleashed so many of our new ideas  (Jonah Lehrer Quotes) Distance and difference are the secret tonic of creativity. When we get home, home is still the same. But something in our mind has been changed, and that changes everything  (Jonah Lehrer Quotes)
