Breakthrough Quote by Peter Høeg
“Maybe it's wrong when we remember breakthroughs to our own being as something that occurs in discrete, extraordinary moments. Maybe falling in love, the piercing knowledge that we ourselves will someday die, and the love of snow are in reality not some sudden events; maybe they were always present. Maybe they never completely vanish, either.”

![“Innovation is not a big breakthrough invention every time. Innovation is a constant thing. But if you don't have an innovative company [team], coming to work everyday to find a better way, you don't have a company[team]. You're getting ready to die on the vine. You're always looking for the next…” quote by Jack Welch](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/9ed/jack-welch-1195_always-trying_innovation-is-not-a-big-breakthrough-inv_111877.jpg)
