Bertrand Piccard Quotes

Man is a genius when he is dreaming.

Dream more than others think practical.

Imagination - that's the future for us.

Creating the future is incredibly exciting. When you talk about ideas and creativity, it's really about having that vision in your mind of how the world could be better, of how it could be a brighter place.

Think, the successful idea is always in your mind. Think it out.

Sometimes the best ideas I have are in my bathtub or in my bed or in my dreams early in the morning before waking up ... I'm like a TV antennae, I catch it all and do it my way.

I'm terrible on facts. But I always have an idea. If you have an idea, you're well ahead

Dreaming is one of humanity’s greatest gifts; it champions aspiration, spurs innovation, leads to change, and propels the world forward.

Think of things not as they are, but as they might be. Don't merely dream- but create.

Every great advancement was once nothing more than a dream in the mind of a visionary.

One of the secrets to success is ideas mixed with inspiration

With creative people, truly new horizons open up.

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.

Imagination is more important than knowledge.

The problems of the world cannot possibly be solved by skeptics or cynics whose horizons are limited by the obvious realities. We need men who can dream of things that never were.

Dreams are the seeds of change. Nothing ever grows without a seed, and nothing ever changes without a dream.

Creative thinking inspires ideas. Ideas inspire change.

Some men see things as they are and say “Why?” I dream things that never were and say, “Why not?”

We have lots of ideas, lots of dreams.

Aren't we all dreamers? It's only because man dreamt of flying that we are travelling in planes. Behind all inventions, we see the dreams of people.

But how shall I get ideas? ''Keep your wits open! Observe! Observe! Study! Study! But above all, Think! Think! And when a noble image is indelibly impressed upon the mind - Act!

Creativity - like human life itself - begins in darkness... bright ideas are preceded by a gestation period that is interior, murky, and completely necessary.

It's the only thing I get inspired by! I get inspired by dreams. Who cares about the rest?

The imagination is the secret and marrow of civilization. It is the very eye of faith.

If there's an original thought out there, I could use one right now.
