More quotes by 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
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
Being creative is at the heart of being human and of all cultural progress.

School systems should base their curriculum not on the idea of separate subjects, but on the much more fertile idea of disciplines... which makes possible a fluid and dynamic curriculum that is interdisciplinary.

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
If you're afraid to be wrong you'll never do anything creative.

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
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
If a man speaks his mind in a forest, and no woman hears him, is he still wrong?
Ken Robinson
To be creative you actually have to do something.
Ken Robinson
I like university professors, but you know, we shouldn't hold them up as the high-water mark of all human achievement. They're just a form of life, another form of life.
Ken Robinson
All children start their school careers with sparkling imaginations, fertile minds, and a willingness to take risks with what they think.
Ken Robinson
Everyday, everywhere our children spread their dreams beneath our feet and we should tread softly.
Ken Robinson
Too many people never connect with their true talents and therefore don't know what they are capable of achieving.
Ken Robinson
Transforming education is not easy but the price of failure is more than we can afford, while the benefits of success are more than we can imagine.
Ken Robinson
Governments decide they know best and they're going to tell you what to do. The trouble is that education doesn't go on in the committee rooms of our legislative buildings. It happens in classrooms and schools, and the people who do it are the teachers and the students. And if you remove their discretion, it stops working.
Ken Robinson
Human life is inherently creative. It's why we all have different résumés. … It's why human culture is so interesting and diverse and dynamic.
Ken Robinson
Imagination is the source of all human achievement.
