Process Quotes

Where change begins, one deliberate step at a time.

This collection gathers quotes on process, the unglamorous stretch between an idea and its finished form, from a movie's scriptwriting stage to how a university builds a fair admissions system. Several also reflect on process in a much heavier sense: the long, uneven march of historical reform toward freedom. For more on the mindset behind making things, see our Creative quotes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do these quotes about process focus on?
They explore process from several angles — the practical stages of making a movie, the fairness of an admissions process, and the slower processes of historical change. It's a good reminder that most big outcomes are built step by step rather than happening all at once.

One quote discusses using race "as one of many factors in an admissions process that is accessible to all," in the context of cultivating leaders who reflect a diverse society.
Is there a quote connecting process to history or emancipation?
Yes, a couple of quotes describe emancipation in America as something that could have come through "the slower process of humanitarian reform," but instead arrived through war — and note that "the process of striking the shackles from the slave was accomplished in a single hour."
