Quotation of the Day for December 21, 2014



"People are always telling you: "Be creative! Make new music! Do art! Invent things! Science and technology!" And then when it comes to words they're like, "Don't! No! Creativity stops right here, whippersnappers, give it a rest." But that makes no sense to me. Words are great. We should have more of them. I want you to make as many new words as possible."

- Erin McKean [TedYouth 2014 - http://www.ted.com/attend/conferences/special-events/tedyouth (video; see Session 3, about 1:22:40 in)]. Quoted at Wordspy (http://wordspy.com/index.php).
