Quote of the Month #3

"Imagination is far more important than knowledge."-Albert Einstein
I just think this is an awesome statement. Especially coming from someone who is a genius. I think being smart is really important, and I love learning new things but I think there comes a time where you just need to let your imagination take over. There is a new commercial on t.v. now that is for some phone company. But they have the song from the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory playing in the background. I've always felt a very special connection to this movie for obvious reasons and I've always loved this song but it just gave me a new perspective when I read this quote. I'm sure you've all heard this song but here are the lyrics.

Come with me
And you'll be
In a world of
Pure imagination
Take a look
And you'll see
Into your imagination

We'll begin
With a spin
Traveling in
The world of my creation
What we'll see
Will defy
Explanation

If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Wanta change the world?
There's nothing
To it

There is no
Life I know
To compare with
Pure imagination
Living there
You'll be free
If you truly wish to be

If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Wanta change the world?
There's nothing
To it

There is no
Life I know
To compare with
Pure imagination
Living there
You'll be free
If you truly
Wish to be
So go ahead, use your imagination. Day dream, doodle, create, read a book, be imaginative.
