Ken RobinsonImagination 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.
About This Quote
Imagination is the source of every form of human achievement. Not talent, not luck, but imagination. Without imagination, we would still be living in caves and hunting for food. We would not have discovered electricity or space travel.
We wouldn't have built the pyramids or the computers we use today. We wouldn't have built our own cities or won world wars or cured disease or started new religions. If we didn't imagine things, we would never have created the future we wanted for ourselves and for our children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren.
