Ken Robinson
What you do for yourself dies with you when you leave this world, what you do for others lives on forever.
Ken Robinson
Research indicates that, as long as we keep using our brains in an active way, we continue to build neural pathways as we get older. This gives us not only the ongoing potential for creative thought, but also an additional incentive for continuing to stretch ourselves.
Ken Robinson
Sometimes getting away from school is the best thing that can happen to a great mind.
Ken Robinson
The arts especially address the idea of aesthetic experience. An aesthetic experience is one in which your senses are operating at their peak when you’re present in the current moment when you’re resonating with the excitement of this thing that you’re experiencing when you are fully alive.
Ken Robinson
Helping people to connect with their personal creative capacities is the surest way to release the best they have to offer.
Ken Robinson
We have sold ourselves into a fast food model of education, and it's impoverishing our spirit and our energies as much as fast food is depleting our physical bodies.
Ken Robinson
You can be creative in anything - in math, science, engineering, philosophy - as much as you can in music or in painting or in dance.
Ken Robinson
Every education system on Earth has the same hierarchy of subjects: at the top are mathematics and languages, then the humanities, and the bottom are the arts.
