ideas

I worked in information technology and academia for a long time and met many people who were better with things and ideas than with people.

We face cyber threats from state-sponsored hackers, hackers for hire, global cyber syndicates, and terrorists. They seek our state secrets, our trade secrets, our technology, and our ideas - things of incredible value to all of us. They seek to strike our critical infrastructure and to harm our economy.

You have to let it all hang out, let go of the ideas that were more comfortable and embrace some of the sadness in your life.

We have real cliched ideas of what prison life is like. It is not a happy place. It's a desperate, sad situation.

My passion for ideas is not matched with a passion for partisan or electoral politics.

There's lots about politics I don't feel comfortable with. To talk about the politics of future ideas is impossible in soundbite form.

It is money, money, money! Not ideas, not principles, but money that reigns supreme in American politics.

If you're sort of interested in politics but sort of upset about contemporary politics, it's kind of wonderful to read about periods who were very eloquent and admirable - generally. People are articulating ideas you can sympathize with or understand both sides of. Or at least feel like one side is saying the right things.

I do not believe that politics in the long run is about individuals. It is about ideas.

Ideas are great arrows, but there has to be a bow. And politics is the bow of idealism.

Republicans have nothing but bad ideas and Democrats have no ideas.

Alan was always interested in politics in a major way. He actually believes that anarchy is a politically viable system, but I don't. I was always interested in putting forward the ideas that represented my viewpoint. I feel the same about anything I'm doing.

I do think the public want to see politicians acting in a different way. What's brought young people into our campaign is that they were written off by political parties but they had never written off politics, and what we have is a huge number of young people, very enthusiastic and brimming with ideas. Those ideas have got to be heard.

On no subject are our ideas more warped and pitiable than on death. ... Let children walk with nature, let them see the beautiful blendings and communions of death and life, their joyous inseparable unity, as taught in woods and meadows, plains and mountains and streams of our blessed star, and they will learn that death is stingless indeed, and as beautiful as life, and that the grave has no victory, for it never fights.

The thing is that as you grow through life, the pursuit of art and the pursuit of new ideas, all these things keeps your mind elastic.

Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.

There's not a lot of art forms where you can control your presentation and your ideas.

My art is not limited to the songs I create but also to the reaction it creates. I like to sit back and look at the whole thing as if it's a tornado that I'm controlling. It's creating chaos. When you create chaos, ideas are turned upside down, and everybody looks at things in a different way.
