More quotes by 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
What you're doing now, or have done in the past, need not determine what you can do next and in the future.
Ken Robinson
All children start their school careers with sparkling imaginations, fertile minds, and a willingness to take risks with what they think.

Helping people to connect with their personal creative capacities is the surest way to release the best they have to offer.
Ken Robinson
Too many people never connect with their true talents and therefore don't know what they are capable of achieving.

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
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
If you're not prepared to be wrong, you're not prepared to be original.
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.
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
Finding your element is essential to your wellbeing and ultimate success and, by implication to the health of our organisations and the effectiveness of our educational systems
Ken Robinson
One of the enemies of creativity and innovation, especially in relation to our own development, is common sense.
Ken Robinson
If you sit kids down, hour after hour, doing low-grade clerical work, don't be surprised if they start to fidget. Children are not, for the most part, suffering from a psychological condition, they're suffering from childhood.
Ken Robinson
There are three (3) principles on which human life flourishes, and they are contradicted by the culture of education under which most teachers have to labor and most students have to endure.
Ken Robinson
Education doesn't need to be reformed- it needs to be transformed.
Ken Robinson
One way of opening ourselves up to new opportunities is to make conscious efforts to look differently at our ordinary situations. Doing so allows a person to see the world as one rife with possibility and to take advantage of some of those possibilities if they seem worth pursuing.
