idea

New York has got this sort of wonderful romantic idea of the South.

In some sense, I'm a romantic. I like the idea of organic history and tradition.

When I was younger - it might be a romantic idea - I always thought I might go crazy.

I love the solitary, romantic idea of writing.

Somehow, the French got this idea of the starving artist. Very romantic, except it's not so romantic for the starving artist.

Akshay's idea of a romantic date is a six-kilometre jog, followed by 500 crunches... together! Eeeeks!

Not a shred of evidence exists in favor of the idea that life is serious.

The idea that the EU is somehow the guarantor of peace on the continent - that is in itself rash, in my view, and risks undermining the vital role of Nato.

I happen to dig being able to use whatever mystique I have to further the idea of peace.

My religiosity consists of a humble admiration of the infinitely superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble minds. That deeply emotional conviction of the presence of a superior reasoning power, which is revealed in the incomprehensible universe, forms my idea of God.

Our ascendancy of the past two centuries - first Europe and then the U.S. - has bred a western-centric mentality: the West is the fount of all wisdom. We think of ourselves as open-minded, but our sense of superiority has closed our minds. We never entertained the idea that China could surpass the U.S.

If an idea is indeed sensible, it will eventually become just part of the accepted wisdom.

The idea that education will lead to a lessening of bigotry is just factually incorrect.

I want to support the whole idea of the humanities and teaching the humanities as being something that - even if it can't be quantitatively measured as other subjects - it's as fundamental to all education.

The idea of education has been so tied to schools, universities, and professors that many assume there is no other way, but education is available to anyone within reach of a library, a post office, or even a newsstand.

Right now it's only a notion, but I think I can get the money to make it into a concept, and later turn it into an idea.

You never suffer from a money problem, you always suffer from an idea problem.

Our idea is to serve everybody, including people with little money.
