Southeast Center for Education in the Arts

The value of an education in a liberal arts college is not the learning of many facts, but the training of the mind to think of something that cannot be learned from textbooks.

Combinatory play seems to be the essential feature in productive thought.

A great thought begins by seeing something differently, with a shift of the mind's eye.

Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.

After a certain high level of technical skill is achieved
science and art tend to coalesce in esthetics, plasticity, and form.
The greatest scientists are artists as well.
