ideas

An idea can destroy the mind of a human being, twist it into a dark path of destruction and illness. But only the human can destroy the mind with a bullet to the soul. Ideas do not kill people; they ruin them. People kill people.

Knowledge is the stuff from which new ideas are made. Thus, the real key to being creative lies in what you do with your knowledge.

No belief or idea is sacred, unless it treats all people as sacred

He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me. That ideas should freely spread from one to another over the globe, for the moral and mutual instruction of man, and improvement of his condition, seems to have been peculiarly and benevolently designed by nature, when she made them, like fire, expansible over all space, without lessening their density in any point, and like the air in which we breathe, move, and have our physical being, incapable of confinement or exclusive appropriation.

An idea? An idea won't get you nothing but another idea. You need money, cash, to make anything happen in this doggone world.

Through your ideas, you open the window of your mind and say a hello to the world.

Ideas are cheap. Writing them into a freakin' 90k word novel is the hard part.

You may live in an unknown small village, but if you have big ideas, the world will come and find you!

Ideas combined with courage can change the world.

To get fruits from the tree branches, shake them with hands; to get fruits from men, shake them with clever ideas!

We have to face the idea that we're completely nobody right now

In the particular dwells the tawdry. In the conceptual dwells the grand, the transcendent, the everlasting. Earthly countries and single malignant boys can go to hell; the idea of countries and the idea of sons triumph for eternity.

Listen, the next revolution is gonna be a revolution of ideas.

And you realize that there__ no such thing as an individual, we__e just all a collection of each other__ influence on each other. Everyone says things to each other, the television, your parents, your friends, that__ all we are, is a collection of intermingling ideas as a collective.

There is no battle or engagement with any institution, company or government; it is always an engagement of ideas.

Ideas are the invisible Gods of our universe!

There are enough ideas, images, symbols, and experiences in your head already to work with for a lifetime. It's a little like having a car with an unpredictable battery, though. Sometimes you get in and it starts right up. Other times, especially if it has been sitting idle for awhile, you turn the key and nothing happens.

One entered the world, Denis pursued, having ready-made ideas about everything. One had a philosophy and tried to make life fit into it. One should have lived first and then made one's philosophy to fit life...Life, facts, things were horribly complicated; ideas, even the most difficult of them, deceptively simple. In the world of ideas, everything was clear; in life all was obscure, embroiled. Was it surprising that one was miserable, horribly unhappy?
