Ideas Quotes

Our ideas are only intellectual instruments which we use to break into phenomena; we must change them when they have served their purpose, as we change a blunt lancet that we have used long enough Picture Quote #1

The ideas and principles of democracy should not be limited to politics, but must pervade all areas of social life Picture Quote #1

You call a star a star, and say it is just a ball of matter moving on a mathematical course. But that is merely how you see it. By so naming things and describing them you are only inventing your own terms about them. And just as speech is invention about objects and ideas, so myth is invention about truth Picture Quote #1

Creative arts, new inventions, and new ideas spring from those blessed with imagination, and magic stimulates imagination. It is no coincidence that many artists, writers, and dancers are interested in magic Picture Quote #1

For at the heart of the uniform, reasoning is shaky and elusive: a mind in search of ideas should first stock up on appearances Picture Quote #1

You don’t change the world with the ideas in your mind, but with the conviction in your heart Picture Quote #1

The more good ideas you collect, the more you can choose from to be influenced by Picture Quote #1

Every new idea is just a mashup or a remix of one or more previous ideas Picture Quote #1

Genealogy of ideas. You don’t get to pick your family, but you can pick your teachers and you can pick your friends and you can pick the music you listen to and you can pick the books you read and you can pick the movies you see Picture Quote #1

I think a lot of the best ideas come from the grassroots; I’m someone who does not like a bunker mentality and does not like groupthink Picture Quote #1

You can get really far by putting your ideas out there and letting other people build on them Picture Quote #1

When you step into an intersection of fields, disciplines, or cultures, you can combine existing concepts into a large number of extraordinary ideas Picture Quote #1

Politics matters. Ideas matter. Democracy matters, because all of us need to be able to make a difference Picture Quote #1

Ruins, for me, are the beginning. With the debris, you can construct new ideas. They are symbols of a beginning Picture Quote #1

It’s not that I bounce ideas off of my children as much as it is that having children has had a profound effect on the way I see the world. They have mined my soul. They’ve made me a better person and therefore a more empathetic writer Picture Quote #1

While the political right may moralize sex, the political left is doing it with food. Food is becoming extremely moralized nowadays, and a lot of it is ideas about purity, about what you’re willing to touch, or put into your body Picture Quote #1

Good investing is a peculiar balance between the conviction to follow your ideas and the flexibility to recognize when you have made a mistake Picture Quote #1

In art, as long as you have ideas and think, you are bound to deform nature. Art is deformation Picture Quote #1

Graphic design is a popular art and a practical art, an applied art and an ancient art. Simply put, it is the art of visualizing ideas Picture Quote #1

Every artist returns to things. The drawings that you make as a child or as an adolescent and the ideas that you have as a young beginning artist, no doubt they crop up again and again Picture Quote #1

It is very difficult to make the ideas in my head come to life, but what is harder is making them look effortless Picture Quote #1

Designers stand between revolutions and everyday life. They’re able to grasp momentous changes in technology, science, and society and convert those changes into objects and ideas that people can understand Picture Quote #1

Instead of thinking that you put pieces together that will add up to a whole, I think you have to start with the premise that they’re already together and you try to keep from destroying life by segmenting it, overorganizing it and dehumanizing it. You try to keep things together. The educative process must be organic, and not an assortment of unrelated methods and ideas Picture Quote #1

I’m much better at working out ideas in action than I am in theorizing about it and then transferring my thinking to action. I don’t work that way. I work with tentative ideas and I experiment and then with that experimentation in action, I finally come to the conclusions about what I think is the right way to do it Picture Quote #1

I also knew that if people have a position on something and you try to argue them into changing it, you’re going to strengthen that position. If you want to change people’s ideas, you shouldn’t try to convince them intellectually. What you need to do is get them into a situation where they’ll have to act on ideas not argue about them Picture Quote #1

The future. Space travel, or cosmology. Alternate universes. Time travel. Robots. Marvelous inventions. Immortality. Catastrophes. Aliens. Superman. Other dimensions. Inner space, or the psyche. These are the ideas that are essential to science fiction. The phenomena change, the basic ideas do not. These ideas are the same philosophical concepts that have intrigued mankind throughout history Picture Quote #1

History is strewn with ideas that were intuitive and made sense at the time, but were also hopelessly wrong Picture Quote #1

Focusing on the good isn’t just about overcoming our inner grump to see the glass half full. It’s about opening our minds to the ideas and opportunities that will help us be more productive, effective, and successful at work and in life Picture Quote #1

Poems, to me, do not come from ideas, they come from a series of images that you tuck away in the back of your brain. Little photographic snapshots. Then you get the major vision of the poem, which is like a giant magnet to which all these disparate little impressions fly and adhere, and there is the poem! Picture Quote #1
