Private imaginings may have no outcomes in the world at all. Creativity does. Being creative involves doing something.

The Element is about discovering your self, and you can't do this if you're trapped in a compulsion to conform. You can't be yourself in a swarm.

Creativity is the greatest gift of human intelligence.

It is often said that education and training are the keys to the future. They are, but a key can be turned in two directions. Turn it one way and you lock resources away, even from those they belong to. Turn it the other way and you release resources and give people back to themselves. To realize our true creative potential-in our organizations, in our schools and in our communities-we need to think differently about ourselves and to act differently towards each other. We must learn to be creative.

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

There isn’t an education system on the planet that teaches dance everyday to children the way we teach them mathematics. Why?

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