While I was reading your post my wife walked in and suggested we take our daughter to Coldstone Creamery -- she (daughter, not wife) is 10 years old and got braces on her teeth today.
I turned around and said, "I graciously accept!" 
She didn't get it. Off to the car now.

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.
