"The biggest obstacle to creativity is attachment to outcome. As soon as you become attached to a specific outcome, you feel compelled to control and manipulate what you're doing. And in the process you shut yourself off to other possibilities."
- Gordon Mackenzie, Former Creative Paradozx for Hallmark. From the article "How your Company is like a Hairball" Fast Company, Dec 1997
