“For me, Benjamin Franklin and Leonardo da Vinci have the same life lesson, which is: be interested in everything…. If you can be interested in everything, if you can be cross-disciplinary, then you can see the patterns of our cosmos, and how we connect to them. And that’s the magic of Ben Franklin, but even of Steve Jobs…and of course the ultimate of that is Leonardo da Vinci, who was the greatest creative genius in history because he spanned disciplines.”
—Walter Isaacson.
