Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. THAT'S relativity.



Imagination is more important than knowledge



It is a miracle that curiosity survives formal education



The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your source



Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen

Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to enhance all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty
