Home is an invention on which no one has yet improved.

No new is new.
No life is new; no thought is new.
So is no invention entirely new.
They are all extensions,
An improved one of the existing.

In other words, what is supposedly found is an invention whose inventor is unaware of his act of invention, who considers it as something that exists independently of him; the invention then becomes the basis of his world view and actions.

The market is not an invention of capitalism. It has existed for centuries. It is an invention of civilization.

'Art' is an invention of aesthetics, which in turn is an invention of philosophers. What we call art is a game.

Heredity is a strong factor, even in architecture. Necessity first mothered invention. Now invention has little ones of her own, and they look just like grandma.

I see architecture not as Gropius did, as a moral venture, as truth, but as invention, in the same way that poetry or music or painting is invention.

That is to say, epic poetry has been invented many times and independently; but, as the needs which prompted the invention have been broadly similar, so the invention itself has been.

Painting is not for me either decorative amusement, or the plastic invention of felt reality; it must be every time: invention, discovery, revelation.
In our tabulation of psychoanalytic results, we have classed those who stopped treatment together with those not improved. This appears to be reasonable; a patient who fails to finish his treatment, and is not improved, is surely a therapeutic failure.

I don't think necessity is the mother of invention. Invention, in my opinion, arises directly from idleness, possibly also from laziness - to save oneself trouble.

My Inventions
My invention carries grim events,
At last the night has observed a rest;
To me you sound like my invention,
Opening of pages, closing of books.
These families of words rest and relax
Like the inhalation of the air by the lungs.
My heart has twitched and feared
From the slight whispers and customs.
My invention is sweet for the eyes of the public,
My inventions improve by the day.
My inventions cause us to be substances
So pure and lovely, to the touch and taste,
But do not just smell or sniff,
Also care for the people who are inventing.

Without question, the greatest invention in the history of mankind is beer. Oh, I grant you that the wheel was also a fine invention, but the wheel does not go nearly as well with pizza.

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.

Infallible Research
As a mad scientist.
I'm doing my research unknown and unheard of.
Failure after failure till my hearts content.
An invention of perfection.
An invention of dissection.
A changing of complexions.
Like Frankenstein it is another resurrection.
It is alive and electrified.
All in the secrets of anonymity.
Who I am I?
Where and why am I doing it?
Explain yourself with law baring.
The legality of morality.
It's okay it is another infallibility.
The wrongs are done unbeknownst to any one.
All in the name of a higher knowledge.
The wisdom of experimentation that isn't hurting anyone.
A belief in the normality of reasoning.
Predicting the changing of the seasons.
From hot to cold in so little time.
When the success comes you will dine upon my home made wine.

My point was that the war was intrinsically wrong, and as a result of our participation we haven't improved Australia's security but created a greater danger at home and abroad.
We improved the environment in which our children live, learn and play by decreasing crime and clamping down on abuse and violence in the home and on the streets.
