About This Quote

There’s a certain kind of person who is able to see a problem in a situation and decide to destroy it in order to fix it. This kind of person is a great source of creative energy because he or she can solve problems in a way that would not have been thought of otherwise. For example, the urge to destroy the Internet might be the greatest creative energy because it's taken so many years to get where we are today - realizing the potential of the Internet.
