<pedant> I've always disliked this quote. One, it's a false dilemma. Two, it could just as easily apply to criminals as it could to innovators, but I wouldn't call that "progress."

I will grant that if the quote applies anywhere it applies here. </pedant>

All progress depends on the unreasonable man. However, not all unreasonable men are responsible for progress.

Everything you can say about an entrepreneur, you can say about a talented criminal.

Only difference is the direction of effort.
