Here’s a collection of my favorite quotes on making connections.
“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.

Pause you who read this, and think for a moment of the long chain of iron or gold, of thorns or flowers, that would never have bound you, but for the formation of the first link on one memorable day.” ― Charles Dickens
“A hidden connection is stronger than an obvious one.” – Heraclitus of Ephesus
“Invisible threads are the strongest ties.” ― Friedrich Nietzsche
“When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe. -John Muir
“A typical neuron makes about ten thousand connections to neighboring neurons. Given the billions of neurons, this means there are as many connections in a single cubic centimeter of brain tissue as there are stars in the Milky Way galaxy.” – David Eagleman
