January 8, 2021 Professor McKinney

    Quotes

    1. Albert_Einstein_violin
      Albert Einstein

       

      “I believe in intuitions and inspirations. I sometimes feel that I am right. I do not know that I am… [but] I would have been surprised if I had been wrong

      “I am enough of the artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.”

      Imagination

    2. prometheus1817-heinrich
      Prometheus Bringing Fire (Spark of Reason) to Mankind by Friedrich Heinrich Fuger, 1817.

      “Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swaps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists… it is real… it is possible… it’s yours.”
      —Howard Roark, The Fountainhead
