“History is not what happened 200 or 2,000 years ago; it’s a story about what happened 200 or 2,000 years ago.” — Lewis Lapham
And I didn’t even go to marketing school.
Things like this make my entire LIFE. Completely BS’d my final paper. Like no joke, I made the whole thing up. (Hope she doesn’t have a tumblr)

Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That’s because they were able to connect experiences they’ve had and synthesize new things. And the reason they were able to do that was that they’ve had more experiences or they have thought more about their experiences than other people. Unfortunately, that’s too rare a commodity. A lot of people in our industry haven’t had very diverse experiences. So they don’t have enough dots to connect, and they end up with very linear solutions without a broad perspective on the problem. The broader one’s understanding of the human experience, the better design we will have.

Dove’s creative is killing it in the most constructive way. I totally dig how they’ve committed to promoting their philosophy ahead of their products.
A work of pure naughty genius.
