Creativity is the process of having original ideas that have value. It is a process; it's not random.

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

You can't be a creative thinker if you're not stimulating your mind, just as you can't be an Olympic athlete if you don't train regularly.

My first career ambitions involved turning into a boy; I intended to be either a railway guard or a knight errant.

Fertile soil, level plains, easy passage across the mountains, coal, iron, and other metals imbedded in the rocks, and a stimulating climate, all shower their blessings upon man.

As a young child my attention span was, as I remember it, rather short.
