A guilty conscience is the mother of invention.
Carolyn Wells
A man with an invention on which he has spent his life, but has no means to get it developed for the good of humanity - or even patented for himself - must feel the pinch of poverty very acutely.
James Payn
A patent, or invention, is any assemblage of technologies or ideas that you can put together that nobody put together that way before. That's how the patent office defines it. That's an invention.
Dean Kamen
A sudden silence in the middle of a conversation suddenly brings us back to essentials: it reveals how dearly we must pay for the invention of speech.

Rudolf Arnheim

Michel Foucault
As the archeology of our thought easily shows, man is an invention of recent date. And one perhaps nearing its end.

As you see, I do not treat the creation of fiction, that to say the invention and development of fantasies, as a form of abstract thought. I don't wish to deny the uses of the intellect, but sometimes one has the intuition that the intellect by itself will lead one nowhere.
J. M. Coetzee
But I'm an adventurer. I like invention, I like discovery.
Karlheinz Stockhausen
