“Creativity is as important as literacy”
― Ken Robinson

“I hope you remember that if you encounter an obstacle on the road, don’t think of it as an obstacle at allâ€� think of it as a challenge to find a new path on the road less traveled.”
― Hyeonseo Lee, The Girl with Seven Names: A North Korean Defector’s Story

“The secret of happiness: Find something more important than you are and dedicate your life to it.”
― Daniel C. Dennett

“We stigmatize mistakes. And we're now running national educational systems where mistakes are the worst thing you can make -- and the result is that we are educating people out of their creative capacities.”
― Ken Robinson

“To be a hero you have to learn to be a deviant â€�
because you're always going against the conformity of the group.”
― Philip G. Zimbardo

“Human relationships are rich and they're messy and they're demanding. And we clean them up with technology. And when we do, one of the things that can happen is that we sacrifice conversation for mere connection. We short-change ourselves. And over time, we seem to forget this, or we seem to stop caring.”
― Sherry Turkle

“I can promise you that women working together â€� linked, informed and educated â€� can bring peace and prosperity to this forsaken planet.”
― Isabel Allende

“People should go to university and college when they are ready, not when they are old enough to go" -Tanishq Abraham, 9 yr old college student (TEDx TALK)”
― Tanishq Abraham 9 year old college prodigy

“Connecting in sips may work for gathering discreet bits of information, they may work for saying, "I'm thinking about you," or even for saying, "I love you," but they don't really work for learning about each other, for really coming to know and understand each other. And we use conversations with each other to learn how to have conversations with ourselves. So a flight from conversation can really matter because it can compromise our capacity for self-reflection. For kids growing up, that skill is the bedrock of development.”
― Sherry Turkle

“Your home is whatever in this world you love more than you love yourself.”
― Elizabeth Gilbert

“Reason is overrated. Many pundits have argued that a good heart and steadfast moral clarity are superior to triangulations of overeducated policy wonks, like the best and brightest and that dragged us into the quagmire of Vietnam. And wasn't it reason that gave us the means to despoil the planet and threaten our species with weapons of mass destruction? In this way of thinking, it's character and conscience, not cold-hearted calculation, that will save us. Besides, a human being is not a brain on a stick. My fellow psychologists have shown that we're led by our bodies and our emotions and use our puny powers of reason merely to rationalize our gut feelings after the fact”
― Steven Pinker

“Can reason lead us in directions that are good or decent or moral? After all, you pointed out that reason is just a means to an end, and the end depends on the reasoner's passions. Reason can lay out a road map to peace and harmony if the reasoner wants peace and harmony, but it can also lay out a road map to conflict and strife if the reasoner delights in conflict and strife. Can reason force the reasoner to want less cruelty and waste?”
― Steven Pinker

“At the end of my life, I want to be able to say I contributed more than I criticized.”
― Brené Brown

“We live in an era where the best way to make a dent on the world may no longer be to write a letter to the editor or publish a book. It may be simply to stand up and say something . . . because both the words and the passion with which they are delivered can now spread across the world at warp speed.”
― Chris J. Anderson, TED Talks: The Official TED Guide to Public Speaking

“Story telling is joke telling.”
― Andrew Stanton

“30 is not the new 20, so claim your adulthood, get some identity capital, use your weak ties, pick your family.”
― Meg Jay, The Defining Decade: Why Your Twenties Matter - and How to Make the Most of Them Now

“The pinnacle of the struggle for attention, which we are promised will surely pay off through wealth and fame, is the TED Talk. Purposely informal and limited to eighteen minutes, these punchy, pithy talks are meant to inspire and entertain. They don’t invite deliberation or debate. They don’t demand immersion or even background reading. They are capsules of knowledge. To deliver a TED Talk, however, is the apex of self-branding. And, not coincidentally, one of the major ways people discover TED Talks and other self-promotional videos is through Facebook.”
― Siva Vaidhyanathan, Antisocial Media: How Facebook Disconnects Us and Undermines Democracy

“Storytelling is a joke-telling. It's knowing your punchline, your ending. Knowing that everything you're saying from the first sentence to the last is leading to a singular goal.”
― Andrew Stanton

“The first and truest thing is that all truth is a paradox. Life is both a precious, unfathomably beautiful gift, and it's impossible here, on the incarnational side of things. It's been a very bad match for those of us who were born extremely sensitive. It's so hard and weird that we sometimes wonder if we're being punked. It's filled simultaneously with heartbreaking sweetness and beauty, desperate poverty, floods and babies and acne and Mozart, all swirled together”
― Ann Lamott

“A country shows strength through compassion and pragmatism, not through force and through fear.”
― Melanie Nezer

“MONEY IS IMAGINARY!”
― Clint G. Rogers

“It's not about you, it's about the idea you're passionate about. Your job is to be there in service of that idea, to offer it as a gift.”
― Chris Anderson, TED Talks: The official TED guide to public speaking / Talk Like TED: The 9 Public Speaking Secrets of the World's Top Minds

“So tonight, when you go home, please, look at your child's bookshelf. Are all the books mirrors? Or are they all windows? Make sure that you have both.”
― Grace Lin
