"จินตนาการสำคัญกว่าความรู้ (Imagination is more important than knowledge) ว่ากันว่าประโยคสุดคมจนบาดลึกเข้าไปในใจใครต่อใครประโยคนี้ หลุดออกมาจากปากของอัลเบิร์ต ไอน์สไตน์ (Albert Einstein) ซึ่งเป็นประโยคหนึ่งที่อยู่ในบทสัมภาษณ์ของไอน์สไตน์ ที่ชื่อ What Life Means to Einstein : An Interview by George Sylvester Viereck
“I believe in intuitions and inspirations. I sometimes feel that I am right. I do not know that I am. When two expeditions of scientists, financed by the Royal Academy, went forth to test my theory of relativity, I was convinced that their conclusions would tally with my hypothesis. I was not surprised when the eclipse of May 29, 1919, confirmed my intuitions. I would have been surprised if I had been wrong. Then you trust more to your imagination than to your knowledge? I am enough of the artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.”
