Δαφνη Ευτυχια Αρθουρος

From the Quotation of the day mailing list, 2014-12-21:

"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)].
