I am convinced that creativity is a priori to the integrity of the universe and that life is regenerative and conformity meaningless.

There is no such thing as genius, some children are just less damaged than others.

I set about fifty-five years ago (1927) to see what a penniless, unknown human individual with a dependent wife and newborn child might be able to do effectively on behalf of all humanity

Nature is all that we think we know plus all that we don't know whether or not we know that we don't know it.

We must do away with the absolutely specious notion that everybody has to earn a living.

Children will draw pictures with everything in them...houses and trees and people and animals...and the sun AND the moon. Grown-up says, "That's a nice picture, Honey, but you put the moon and the sun in the sky at the same time and that isn't right." But the child is right! The sun and moon are in the sky at the same time.

Most of my advances were by mistake. You uncover what is when you get rid of what isn't.
