Creativity, as I see it, is the process of putting your imagination to work. It's been defined rather simply as applied imagination. That's not a bad way to think about it.

What you're doing now, or have done in the past, need not determine what you can do next and in the future.

Life is not linear, it is organic. We create our lives symbiotically as we explore our talents in relation to the circumstances they help create for us

It’s education that’s meant to take us into this future that we can’t grasp.

We live in worlds that we have forged and composed. It's much more true than any of the species that you see. I mean, it seems to me that one of the most distinctive features of human intelligence is the capacity to imagine, to project out of our own immediate circumstances and to bring to mind things that aren't present here and now.

Everyday, everywhere our children spread their dreams beneath our feet and we should tread softly.

Transforming education is not easy but the price of failure is more than we can afford, while the benefits of success are more than we can imagine.
