Idea Quotes

An excellent precept for writers: Have a clear idea of all the phrases and expressions you need, and you will find them Picture Quote #1

And yet, we know how fatal the pursuit of liveliness may be: it may result in... tiresome acrobatics... Flashy effects distract the mind. They destroy their persuasiveness; you would not believe a man was very intent on ploughing a furrow if he carried a hoop with him and jumped through it at every other step... When virtuosity gets the upper hand of your theme, or is better than your idea, it is time to quit Picture Quote #1

The whole process of writing a novel is having this great, beautiful idea and then spoiling it Picture Quote #1

A social entrepreneur is somebody who knows how to make an idea reality, and one of the great ideas of our time is pluralism. Can people from different backgrounds live together in mutual peace and loyalty? And what we need is a generation of young social entrepreneurs who know how to make that great idea reality in an historical moment where religious extremists are, frankly, making their idea reality Picture Quote #1

I mean come on. Do you know how easy it is to be famous these days? Do you have any idea? The web has made it plausible to have your very own platform to stand and spew nonsense from on an hourly basis. There’s an old saying: when everyone is special, no one will be. These days, everybody thinks they’re special, so no one really does anything to be special anymore Picture Quote #1

If you haven’t got an idea, start a story anyway. You can always throw it away, and maybe by the time you get to the fourth page you will have an idea, and you’ll only have to throw away the first three pages Picture Quote #1

Sometimes I think creativity is magic; it’s not a matter of finding an idea, but allowing the idea to find you Picture Quote #1

Write what you care about and understand. Writers should never try to outguess the marketplace in search of a salable idea; the simple truth is that all good books will eventually find a publisher if the writer tries hard enough, and a central secret to writing a good book is to write on that people like you will enjoy Picture Quote #1

Writing is just having a sheet of paper, a pen and not a shadow of an idea of what you are going to say Picture Quote #1

Whatever machine you use, however sophisticated your technology, it’s ideas that count. In the beginning was the idea. No machine will give you the ability to spot an opening, take a new idea, and see it through to profitable fruition Picture Quote #1

Creators start at the end. First they have an idea of what they want to create. Sometimes this is idea is general, and sometimes it is specific. Before you can create what you want you want to create, you must know what you are after, what you want to bring into being Picture Quote #1

For what is important when we give children a theorem to use is not that they should memorize it. What matters most is that by growing up with a few very powerful theorems one comes to appreciate how certain ideas can be used as tools to think with over a lifetime. One learns to enjoy and to respect the power of powerful ideas. One learns that the most powerful idea of all is the idea of powerful ideas Picture Quote #1

The best part of it for me is the idea that this group of young men, who came together and believed in themselves, bought the team concept completely, took the names off the back of the jerseys, checked the egos at the door Picture Quote #1

My own eyes are no more than scouts on a preliminary search, or the camera’s eye may entirely change my idea Picture Quote #1

This idea fascinates me. The idea that a few seconds of watching a photographer in action can tell you his/her status in the medium. And it’s true. If you watch a photographer of merit working an event he/she does not look like an amateur Picture Quote #1

If you are not passionately devoted to an idea, you can make very pleasant pictures but they won’t make you cry Picture Quote #1

I watch my daughter wanting to be like other kids and getting upset that she’s not. But I always try and instill in her the idea that she’s perfect as she is Picture Quote #1

The wilderness and the idea of wilderness is one of the permanent homes of the human spirit Picture Quote #1

I like sweet wines. My idea has always been that when you’re young, you like sweet wines; and then you get sophisticated, and you drink dry white; and then you get knowledgeable, and you drink heavy reds; and then you get old, and you drink sweet again Picture Quote #1

Teachers at all levels encourage the idea that you have to talk about things in order to understand them, because they wouldn’t have jobs, otherwise. But it’s phony, you know Picture Quote #1

Before going mountain bike riding, it’s a good idea to leave your valuables at home. Your testicles, for example Picture Quote #1

From these activists we can learn a crucial lesson: without citizens creating the institutions necessary for facilitating the growth of public deliberation, democracy will be a meaningless term. Without political leaders articulating this idea and acting upon it, public life and citizenship will continue to stagnate Picture Quote #1

It is not a zero sum game. The simple idea of the gains from trade lies at the heart of the modern and the ancient economy, not the power of capital. There is nothing else to it Picture Quote #1

Nothing will destroy creativity thought faster than judging the value of the idea on the spot Picture Quote #1

The idea is that one’s temperament improves with age; that you learn to deal better with people and become more benevolent and loving. That’s not necessarily true. I try to stay loose but sometimes the best thing to do is get yourself away and take a good nap Picture Quote #1

Our task is tough, and our time is limited. Party organizations and governments at all levels must give priority to emission reduction and bring the idea deep into people’s hearts Picture Quote #1

I will always remember you, even though you had no idea I was even in the room. My words wouldn’t come, I could only dream. A crush or a love? Picture Quote #1

Embedded in every technology there is a powerful idea, sometimes two or three powerful ideas. Like language itself, a technology predisposes us to favor and value certain perspectives and accomplishments and to subordinate others. Every technology has a philosophy, which is given expression in how the technology makes people use their minds, in how it codifies the world, in which of our senses it amplifies, in which of our emotional and intellectual tendencies it disregards Picture Quote #1

It is not surprising that liberals believed in progress. The idea of progress justified the entire transition from feudalism to capitalism. It legitimated the breaking of the remaining opposition to the commodification of everything, and it tended to wipe away all the negatives of capitalism on the grounds that the benefits outweighed, by far, the harm Picture Quote #1

Buy ammunition! Remember that a man cannot have too many books, too many wines, or too much ammunition. Our adversaries on the other side are reaching for the excuse of lead poisoning. If they can push that idea through, you may wind up still owning your guns but without anything to shoot in them Picture Quote #1
