Be inspired

“I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.” Albert Einstein

A quote from Matt Damon's speech at the Save Our Schools March in Washington, DC.

"I had incredible teachers. As I look at my life today, the things I value most about myself — my imagination, my love of acting, my passion for writing, my love of learning, my curiosity — all come from how I was parented and taught.

And none of these qualities that I've just mentioned — none of these qualities that I prize so deeply, that have brought me so much joy, that have brought me so much professional success — none of these qualities that make me who I am ... can be tested."

Thank you Fantasio, for your inspiring work!

Fantasio is one of those InspirationPearls, of whom I want to tell you. This great artist is like a bright star, a jewel in the universe of surreal art. He has the gift to visualize dreams.

With his work "redtopia" he has given my dream of a „living book“ a face. Through Fantasios eyes, the marriage between Internet and book is going to be a great idea. What a powerful talent!
