“Today's encounter was billed as spontaneous. Instead it appeared to follow a script.”
Brian Williams
“Only in spontaneity can we be who we truly are.”
John McLaughlin
“If you wait to do everything until you're sure it's right, you'll probably never do much of anything.”
Win Borden
“We cannot know the consequences of suppressing a child's spontaneity when he is just beginning to be active. We may even suffocate life itself. That humanity which is revealed in all its intellectual splendor during the sweet and tender age of childhood should be respected with a kind of religious veneration. It is like the sun which appears at dawn or a flower just beginning to bloom. Education cannot be effective unless it helps a child to open up himself to life.”
Maria Montessori
“Creativity is not merely the innocent spontaneity of our youth and childhood; it must also be married to the passion of the adult human being, which is a passion to live beyond one's death.”
Dr. Rollo May
“There's an English show I love called Whose Line Is It Anyway? It's all improvisation. Brilliant, quick, clever comics - spontaneity with both barrels. I wish I could do that show.”
Johnny Depp
“The voluntary path to cheerfulness, if our spontaneous be lost, is to sit up cheerfully, and act and speak as if cheerfulness wee already there. To feel brave, act as if we were brave, use all our will to that end, and courage will very likely replace fear. If we act as if from some better feeling, the bad feeling soon folds its tent like an Arab and silently steals away”
William Shakespeare
