The Vocational Approach At Nocca (new Orleans Center For The Creative Arts) Helps Build Grit In Students.

The Teachers Demand Hard Work From Their Kids Because They Know, From Personal Experience, That Creative Success Requires Nothing Less.

So Let's Not Pretend That Travel Is Always Fun. We Don't Spend 10 Hours Lost In The Louvre Because We Like It, And The View From The Top Of Machu Picchu Probably Doesn't Make Up For The Hassle Of Lost Luggage. (more Often Than Not, I Need A Holiday After My Holiday.) We Travel Because We Need To, Because Distance And Difference Are The Secret Tonic Of Creativity. When We Get Home, Home Is Still The Same. But Something In Our Mind Has Been Changed, And That Changes Everything.

Like A Work Of Art, We Exceed Our Materials. Science Needs Art To Frame The Mystery, But Art Needs Science So That Not Everything Is A Mystery. Neither Truth Alone Is Our Solution, For Our Reality Exists In Plural

Just Because An Idea Is True Doesn't Mean It Can Be Proved. And Just Because An Idea Can Be Proved Doesn't Mean It's True.

Creativity Is A Spark. It Can Be Excruciating When We're Rubbing Two Rocks Together And Getting Nothing. And It Can Be Intensely Satisfying When The Flame Catches And A New Idea Sweeps Around The World.
