There is no system in the world or any school in the country that is better than its teachers. Teachers are the lifeblood of the success of schools.

Imagination is the source of all human achievement.

In a world where lifelong employment in the same job is a thing of the past, creativity is not a luxury. It is essential for personal security and fulfillment.

Creativity is putting your imagination to work, and it's produced the most extraordinary results in human culture.

My contention is, all kids have tremendous talents. And we squander them, pretty ruthlessly.

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.

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.
