More quotes by Ken Robinson
If all you had was academic ability, you wouldn't have been able to get out of bed this morning. In fact, there wouldn't have been a bad to get out of. No one could have made one. You could have written about possibility of one, but not have constructed it.
Ken Robinson
You can't just give someone a creativity injection. You have to create an environment for curiosity and a way to encourage people and get the best out of them.
Ken Robinson

Ken Robinson

Ken Robinson

Ken Robinson
We are all born with extraordinary powers of imagination, intelligence, feeling, intuition, spirituality, and of physical and sensory awareness. For the most part, we use only a fraction of these powers, and some not at all.
Ken Robinson
Very many people go through their whole lives having no real sense of what their talents may be, or if they have any to speak of.
Ken Robinson
To be creative you actually have to do something.
Ken Robinson
If you're not prepared to be wrong, you're not prepared to be original.
Ken Robinson
The role of a creative leader is not to have all the ideas it's to create a culture where everyone can have ideas and feel that they're valued.
Ken Robinson
Typically [professors] live in their heads. … They look upon their body as a form of transport for their heads. It’s a way of getting their head to meetings.
Ken Robinson
The dropout crisis is just the tip of an iceberg. What it doesn't count are all the kids who are in school but being disengaged from it, who don't enjoy it, who don't get any real benefit from it.
Ken Robinson
One of the enemies of creativity and innovation, especially in relation to our own development, is common sense.
Ken Robinson
You can't be a creative thinker if you're not stimulating your mind, just as you can't be an Olympic athlete if you don't train regularly.
Ken Robinson
If you're doing something you love, an hour feels like five minutes. If you're doing something that doesn't resonate with your spirit, five minutes feels like an hour.
