Creativity now is as important in education as literacy, and we should treat it with the same status.

We get educated out of creativity.

Innovation is applied creativity. By definition, innovation is always about introducing something new, or improved, or both and it is usually assumed to be a positive thing.

Being wrong doesn't mean being creative - but if you aren't afraid of being wrong, you can't be creative.

The arts especially address the idea of aesthetic experience. An aesthetic experience is one in which your senses are operating at their peak; when you’re present in the current moment; when you’re resonating with the excitement of this thing that you’re experiencing; when you are fully alive.

If you're not prepared to be wrong, you're not prepared to be original.
