"We especially need imagination in science. It is not all mathematics, nor all logic, but it is somewhat beauty and poetry"
- Maria Montessori
About this Quote
Maria Montessori is recommending that creativity is vital in the field of science. While math and reasoning are essential elements, they alone do not include the totality of scientific discovery. There is an element of charm and poetry that includes thinking of and interpreting what is observed on the planet around us. Hence, creativity and imagination are required consider advancing scientific knowledge.
