"But the fact that some geniuses
were laughed at does not imply that all
who are laughed at are geniuses.
They laughed at Columbus,
they laughed at Fulton,
they laughed at the Wright Brothers.
But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.”
Carl Sagan,
founder & first President of The Planetary Society
Break Your Crayons and Draw Outside the Lines
"If your goal is to create
something new and big,
you're going to have to do something
that everybody else will laugh at so that becomes the test.
If they're not laughing at it, and you don't get
turned down a few times,
it's probably not a great idea.
In other words, if it's something
that makes everybody nod their heads and say,
"Yeah, that makes sense," there are probably
already a dozen people doing it.”
Marc Andreessen, founder of Netscape

"Laughter and tears are both responses
to frustration and exhaustion. I myself prefer
to laugh, since there is less cleaning up
to do afterward.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Jr,
humanist
"I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells.
Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living,
it's a way of looking at life through
the wrong end of a telescope
and that enables you to laugh at life's realities.”
Dr. Seuss,
gambler
(he won a $50 bet that he couldn't write
an entire book using only fifty words
--Green Eggs and Ham).

"Total absence of humour renders
life impossible.”
Colette, French author
"Common sense and a sense of humour
are the same thing, moving at different speeds.
A sense of humour is just common sense, dancing.”
Clive James, Australian cultural reviewer
"It's kind of fun to do the impossible”
Walt Disney, American entrepreneur

Imagination and Creativity
“The global economy is changing.
Wealth is no longer coming from the land.
It is coming from the mind.
Human imagination and creativity are the
sources of a country's future wealth and
prosperity.
It does not matter how much land and
natural resources we own. It only matters
that we can imagine and create. It does not
matter what we know. It only matters what
we will learn.
Shimon Peres,
former Prime Minister of Israel
and Nobel Peace Prize laureate
