There has never been on this earth a political movement that wasn’t a little religious, and there’s never been a religious movement in the history of the world that wasn’t a little political.

"There is no longer any place for intelligence, or anything else that is purely inward, for these are things that can neither be seen nor touched, that can neither be counted nor weighed; there is only place for outward action in all its forms, even those that are the most completely meaningless. For this reason it should not be a matter of surprise that the Anglo-Saxon mania for sport gains ground day by day: the ideal of the modern world is the 'human animal' who has developed his muscular strength to the highest pitch; its heroes are athletes, even though they be mere brutes; it is they who awaken popular enthusiasm, and it is their exploits that command the passionate interest of the crowd. A world in which such things are seen has indeed sunk low and seems near its end"

Alchemy

Science looks down into matter. Alchemy looks up into spirit. Alchemists believe that life is really a marriage between the lower forces of material and the upper forces of spirit.

My contention is that creativity is as important in education as literacy, and we should treat it with the same status.

Ken Robinson

Kids will take a chance: if kids don’t know, they have a go, am I right?
They’re not frightened of being wrong. I don’t mean to say that being wrong is the same thing as being creative. What I’m saying is, if you’re not prepared to be wrong, you’ll never come up with anything original. By the time we get to be adults, most kids have lost that capacity: they have become frightened of being wrong.
We run our companies like this, by the way. We stigmatize mistakes. We’re now running national education systems where mistakes are the worst thing you can make. The result is, we are educating people out of their creative capacities. Picasso said “All children are born artists. The problem is to remain an artist as we grow up.” I believe this passionately: that we don’t grow into creativity, we grow out of it, or rather, we get educated out of it.

Man has places in his heart which do not yet exist, and into them enters suffering in order that they may have existence.

Mimicry is a prerequisite for developing creativity. We learn the use of our tools by mimicry. Then we can use those tools for creativity.
