What you do for yourself dies with you when you leave this world, what you do for others lives on forever.

Being creative is at the heart of being human and of all cultural progress.

To realize our true creative potential - in our organizations, in our schools and in our communities - we need to think differently about ourselves and towards each other. We must learn to be creative.

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

Finding the medium that excites your imagination, that you love to play with and work in, is an important step to freeing your creative energies.

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.

I believe our only hope for the future is to adopt a new conception of human ecology, one in which we start to reconstitute our concept of the richness in human capacity.
