“A major challenge we face today, therefore, is to create a desire in people to learn; and to foster and facilitate this desire throughout their lives.”

“We were the creatures desired throughout the ages... foolish humans didn't even realize it, living in their own little world.”

“We are all created by desire and we all die because of desire.”

“Don't become a puppet to other peoples desires, live and create your life as you intend it to be.”

“We all have to lead our own life, and we only have the one life, and the only people who can live life not according to their own desires are those who have no desires--which is the majority, actually. People can say what they like, they can speak of abnegation, sacrifice, generosity, acceptance, and resignation, but it's all false. The norm is for people to think that they desire whatever comes to them, whatever they achieve along the way or whatever is given to them--they have no preconceived desires.”

“The key question isn't "What fosters creativity?" But why in God's name isn't everyone creative? Where was the human potential lost? How was it crippled? I think therefore a good question might not be why do people create? But why do people not create or innovate?We have got to abandon that sense of amazement in the face of creativity, as if it were a miracle that anybody created anything.”
