❝I used to often say, 'Boredom is the mother of creativity.' But lately, I’ve found myself shifting the ‘motherhood’ to curiosity. Lots of projects are the result of satisfying my curiosity always hoping that my curiosity will be shared by others. My favourite sentence is: 'Much better than I deserve.'❞Prof Ron Arad on "Curiosity"
