"The whole difference between construction and creation is exactly this: that a thing constructed can only be loved after it is constructed; but a thing created is loved before it exists"

- Charles Dickens

About this Quote

This quote by Charles Dickens speaks to the difference in between constructing something and creating something. Constructing something is a process of creating pieces to form an entire, while producing something is a procedure of bringing something into existence from absolutely nothing. Constructing something needs a strategy and a set of guidelines, while developing something requires imagination and motivation. The quote recommends that when something is built, it can only be appreciated after it is completed. Nevertheless, when something is developed, it is loved before it even exists. This speaks with the power of creativity and the capacity of something that is yet to be seen. It also talks to the value of the innovative process and the joy that comes from creating something from absolutely nothing.
