Creativity:
"The Universe is endowed with very extraordinary principles. The principles are discoverable. When man fulfills his extraordinary abilities and does discover, or really un-cover the mysteries of the ordered Universe, some very strong interactions become available to society. Humanity is constantly being surprised by these interactions. But, as for the ‘discovery,’ it was always there, waiting to be uncovered.
"When you talk about ‘creative’ men you are really talking about men who know and understand something of the Universe, and who, regardless of public acceptance or rejection, know.
“I certainly worry about the teaching of creativity that so many talk about today. In science and technology, teaching creativity is, in reality, teaching about the Universe. If you understand the laws that govern its working, you, ipso facto, must be creative, for you cannot help but apply those laws in a new way-- in your language, a ‘creative’ way, in my language, an ‘extraordinary’ way.”
