“A nation must be embraced, rehabilitated and expressed as a tangible sign of human creativity and as an integral element of mankinds heritage.”

If the lives of men can be measured in terms of years, ideologies in decades, and nations in centuries, then the unit measuring civilizations, born of the interaction among peoples, would be the millennium.

I have reaffirmed my political will to work towards national unity.

Yet, history has shown that if material force can defeat some ideologies it can no longer obliterate a civilization without destabilizing the whole planet.

A dialogue among civilizations can be seen as a dialogue between the individual and the universal.

Creativity has much to do with experience, observation and imagination, and if any one of those key elements is missing, it doesn’t work.

Creativity happens where it’s dangerous and scary: where you’re not comfortable.

Forced idleness evolves into beauty.

I found out that there weren’t too many limitations, if I did it my way.

You’ve got to know your limitations. I don’t know what your limitations are. I found out what mine were when I was twelve. I found out that there weren’t too many limitations, if I did it my way.

Creativity is a highfalutin’ word for the work I have to do between now and Tuesday.

Creatives are neither born nor created. They are activated.

When I played in a 21-team league, there were six or seven goalies who were just average, and the equipment and pads were smaller. I came in the right era. I played for the right team. It was all speed, and creativity and imagination.
