Imagination Quotations
“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.” ~~ Sir Ken Robinson
“You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.” ~~ Steve Jobs
“Inside all of us is a Wild Thing” ~~ Maurice Sendak in “Where the Wild Things Are”
“He who wonders discovers that this in itself is wonder.” ~~ M.C. Escher
“Are you really sure that a floor can’t also be a ceiling?” ~~ M.C. Escher
“Hope lies in dreams, in imagination and in the courage of those who dare to make dreams into reality.” ~~ Jonas Salk
“Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.” ~~ Samuel Ullman
“He who has imagination without learning has wings but no feet.” ~~ Joseph Joubert
“I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it’s a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope.” ~~ Dr. Seuss
