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.

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

Most people didn't pursue their passions simply because of the promise of a paycheck. They pursued them because they couldn't imagine doing anything else with their lives.

The dropout crisis is just the tip of an iceberg. What it doesn't count are all the kids who are in school but being disengaged from it, who don't enjoy it, who don't get any real benefit from it.

Learning happens in the minds and souls, not in the databases of multiple-choice tests.

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.

We get educated out of creativity.
