Quote by Carl Ally

The creative person wants to be a know -it -all. He wants to know about all kinds of things: ancient history, nineteenth -century mathematics, current manufacturing techniques, flower arranging, and hog futures. Because he never knows when these ideas might come together to form a new idea. It may happen six minutes later or six months, or six years down the road. But he has faith that it will happen.

The creative person wants to be a know -it -all. He wants to

Summary

This quote emphasizes the insatiable thirst for knowledge that a creative person possesses. This person seeks to explore a wide array of subjects, ranging from history and mathematics to seemingly unrelated topics like flower arranging and hog futures. This quest for knowledge stems from the understanding that ideas can unexpectedly connect and intertwine, leading to the birth of innovative concepts. Though the timing of these connections is unpredictable, the creative individual harbors a steadfast belief that such a collision of ideas will eventually transpire, regardless of whether it takes minutes, months, or even years to materialize.
