I believe this passionately: that we don't grow into creativity, we grow out of it. Or rather, we get educated out if it.

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.

Teaching for creativity aims to encourage self-confidence, independence of mind, and the capacity to think for oneself.

Being in your element is not only about aptitude, it's about passion: it is about loving what you do...tapping into your natural energy and your most authentic self.

If you sit kids down, hour after hour, doing low-grade clerical work, don't be surprised if they start to fidget. Children are not, for the most part, suffering from a psychological condition, they're suffering from childhood.

One of the enemies of creativity and innovation, especially in relation to our own development, is common sense.

Up to a point you welcome being interrupted because it is only by interacting with other people that you get anything interesting done.
