Quote by Pablo Picasso

Every act of creation is first of all an act of destruction.

Every act of creation is first of all an act of destruction.

Summary

This quote suggests that in order to create something new, one must often "destroy" or dismantle existing concepts, ideas, or structures. Creation involves questioning traditional norms, breaking away from established patterns, and challenging the status quo. The act of destruction referred to here is not necessarily a negative or literal destruction, but rather a process of deconstruction and reformation. Innovation and progress require shedding old beliefs and practices to make way for fresh perspectives and original creations. Ultimately, this quote highlights the transformative nature of creation and the need for breaking barriers to bring something new into existence.

An idea must not be condemned for being a little shy and incoherent; all new ideas are shy when introduced first among our old ones. We should have patience and see whether the incoherency is likely to wear off or to wear on, in which latter case the sooner we get rid of them the better.
