idea

What I remain opposed to is the idea that David Cameron could go around and give up workers' rights, give up environmental protection, give up a whole load of things that are very important.

I like the idea of being a sculptor. Just me alone, making something - that solitary existence.

This is my idea of heaven, coming home and watching the news.

My idea of home is not necessarily a place.

Runners and yogis are alike in lots of ways, and not just because some of us need yoga to unkink what running jams. Runners and yogis are also alike because of this tortoise shell idea, this 'home' we can access inside ourselves.

My idea of heaven used to be relaxing at home with a cheese plate and champagne.

Men are strong so long as they represent a strong idea they become powerless when they oppose it.

The idea of avant-garde art is a very suspicious thing to me, the idea that poetry is new and it keeps being new the way Chevrolets every year are new.

My idea is simply - is very simple - is that the books of poetry should be published in far greater volume and be distributed in far greater volume, in far more substantial manner. You can sell in supermarkets very cheaply. In paperbacks. You can sell in drugstores.

The common idea that success spoils people by making them vain, egotistic and self-complacent is erroneous; on the contrary it makes them, for the most part, humble, tolerant and kind.

A person with a new idea is a crank until the idea succeeds.

I have an idea of who I want to be, I have a vision of my own success.

All children are atheists, they have no idea of God.

I've always loved the '40s romantic comedies and the idea of those mistaken identities and lovers' misunderstandings.

My idea of a romantic night is to watch action films.

The idea of being a novelist is really romantic, but it's kind of the same as being president of the United States - it's not gonna happen.
