"Imagination is more important than knowledge" he said. "Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world."
It's difficult to argue against someone whose Theory of Relativity was borne out of daydreaming about riding on a sunbeam through the universe. And anyway, who am I to argue against Einstein ?
I first heard this quote back in my teens and for some reason it stuck in my mind. Not at the forefront, mind, just at the back. But every once in a while, it emerges. Like when I read Ho Kwon Ping's "In Praise of Daydreaming".
