There is no authority who decides what is a good idea.

Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel.

Imagination is the source of every form of human achievement. And it's the one thing that I believe we are systematically jeopardizing in the way we educate our children and ourselves.

Seek knowledge from the cradle to the grave.
