Sebastian Thrun Quotes

Creativity is essential to particle physics, cosmology, and to mathematics, and to other fields of science, just as it is to its more widely acknowledged beneficiaries - the arts and humanities.

But mathematics is the sister, as well as the servant, of the arts and is touched by the same madness and genius.

Art and creativity are crucial, whether you're a mathematician, a scientist, or an artist.

We especially need imagination in science. It is not all mathematics, nor all logic, but it is somewhat beauty and poetry.

Without imagination we can go nowhere. And imagination is not restricted to the arts. Every scientist I have met who has been a success has had to imagine.

If you're willing to put two thoughts into a picture then you're already ahead of the game.

I like to create.

The art of doing mathematics consists in finding that special case which contains all the germs of generality.

Mathematics is one of the essential emanations of the human spirit, a thing to be valued in and for itself, like art or poetry.

In mathematics and science we solve our problems as well as create them. But in art and philosophy things are not so simple.

I like being creative.

All creation requires a scientific brain.

Creativity is the art of the impossible

I think everyone should get a little exposure to computer science because it really forces you to think in a slightly different way, and it's a skill that you can apply in life in general, whether you end up in computer science or not.

Learning to write programs stretches your mind, and helps you think better, creates a way of thinking about things that I think is helpful in all domains.

Mathematics is not a contemplative but a creative subject.

The art, the new, the ability to connect the dots and to make an impact - sooner or later, that can only come from one who creates, not from a teacher and not from a book.

I love the creative process and being able to build something out of nothing.

Abstraction is one of the greatest visionary tools ever invented by human beings to imagine, decipher, and depict the world.

Designis a revelation to me. It's like taking something that is not alive and giving it form, shape, substance, and life.

I've had a bit of experience at lots and lots of different arenas as it were, some of them completely creative, some of them quite technical. The interesting thing is, is that I found that the technical arenas actually are also very creative or can be very creative.
