“Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre...” — Albert Einstein Quote

Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.

You can never solve a problem on the level on which it was created.

Never memorize something that you can look up.

True art is characterized by an irresistible urge in the creative artist.

Imagination is more important than knowledge.

I still play my old vinyl LPs - I like the scratches - and I miss browsing in record shops, because they held great nostalgia for me.

Better a little which is well done, than a great deal imperfectly.

You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.

I have come to believe that a great teacher is a great artist and that there are as few as there are any other great artists. Teaching might even be the greatest of the arts since the medium is the human mind and spirit.

All great chefs have two things in common. First, they respect nature as the true artist, and they are just cooks. Second, everything that they do is an extension of them as a person.
