When my fellow X-Men and I are not trying to save the world from catastrophe, I am teacher of History, Botany, and Horticulture. I thought this quote seemed an appropriate addition on the subject of creativity.

"It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge." Albert Einstein

That is a great quote @Ororo Munroe. I'm sure you're a great teacher.
Here is one of my favorites.

"Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge in limited to what we know and an understand, while imagination embraces the whole world, and all there will ever be to know and understand."
Albert Einstein

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles; or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and blood; who strives valiantly, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows the high triumph of achievement, and who, at the worst, if he he fails, fails at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."

The Man in the Arena, an excerpt from a speech by Theodore Roosevelt,
at the Sarbonne, Paris, France, April 23, 1910

    fun facts: Quokkas naturally look like they’re smiling because of the shape of their mouths. The internet adopted them as “the happiest animal,” though in reality they’re just little nocturnal marshmallow creatures trying to survive like everything else.

    Edited because the answer was wrong and needs rewording: I am one of the great world cities that sits near major fault lines. Cats roam my ancient ruins. Empires fought endlessly over me because I connected continents. Where am I?”

  • Lucy Lucy:
    Why do we say "Excuse my French" when about to swear. When something crappy happens why do we ask "If we're having fun yet." and "Why do we say "For pete's sake" are these all just American phrases?

    This is becoming a fun rabbit hole....the alphabet has been rearranged a few times. "A" came from a Phoenician symbol that originally represented an ox's head. "B" came from a symbol meaning "house." The names Alpha and Beta evolved from Aleph and Beth. ...

    The letters J, U, and W are relatively new additions compared to the others. For a long time, people used I/J and U/V as the same letters.

    I was out today minding my own business at a restaurant when I over heard someone at a table near me say this "The United States is the oldest country in the world." I was thinking...It can't be. At least the "United Kingdom" was around before we came to the new world.
