Two Einstein quotes:

1) If you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree it will live the whole of its life thinking it is a failure.
2) The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination.

I met a dragon face to face
the year when I was ten,
I took a trip to outer space,
I braved a pirate's den,
I wrestled with a wicked troll,
and fought a great white shark,
I trailed a rabbit down a hole,
I hunted for a snark.

I stowed aboard a submarine,
I opened magic doors,
I traveled in a time machine,
and searched for dinosaurs,
I climbed atop a giant's head,
I found a pot of gold,
I did all this in books I read
when I was ten years old.

- Jack Prelutsky

Each satisfies a characteristic need; in the English, love of order and legalistic procedure; and here in America, what you like is something vivid, and red, and swift.

A.N. Whitehead

And heaven in a wild flower
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour
