I don’t read or watch TV to get ideas. My work is basically sitting down at the drawing table and getting silly.
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I will meet you there.
As a leader, these attributes – confidence, perseverance, work ethic and good sense – are all things I look for in people. I also try to lead by example and create an environment where good questions and good ideas can come from anyone.

In subjects that physicists think of as purely quantum, classical ideas and classical computational techniques can often be powerful.

Government is force, pure and simple. There’s no way to sugar-coat that. And because government is force, it will attract the worst elements of society – people who want to use government to avoid having to earn their living and to avoid having to persuade others to accept their ideas voluntarily.
My hope is that the Chinese government will come to realise that it is futile to repress free speech, and that contrary to what they believe a regime’s strength rests not its suppression of a plurality of opinions and ideas, but in its capacity and willingness to encourage them.

Most intuitive ideas have to be clarified, so there is a trial and error process.
Most architects work in studios largely divorced from academia, as if ideas, criticism and historical research were irrelevant.
‘The Sea Wolf‘ is the story of a man who believes only in brute force. He is so firm in belief in his own ideas that he despises all who disagree with him. He preaches the doctrine of intolerance. He flaunts the notion that democracy is anything but weakness.
I believe in the power of ideas. I believe in the power of sharing knowledge.
Religious ideas about good and evil tend to focus on how to achieve well-being in the next life, and this makes them terrible guides to securing it in this one. Of course, there are a few gems to be found in every religious tradition, but insofar as these precepts are wise and useful they are not, in principle, religious.
I think that every child grows up with the ideas that what we are given, is our society. Your education, and your mother and father, they tell you this is how it is, but then you hit adolescence and you think, ‘Is it? Why? Why is it like that?’ Sometimes that questioning leads to something more.

No matter what people tell you, words and ideas can change the world.

There are some ideas so wrong that only a very intelligent person could believe in them.
I love playing around with ideas and turning them into something useful or fun.

I know that some of the ideas that I have are not always going to be seen as a good idea by everybody but, that’s just life. We learn at some point that you don’t always get your way.
We have the ability to completely change our environment to go… to take on… to inherit, in a certain sense, things far beyond our DNA, and that’s inheritable. And we can see evolution in action as our ideas evolve and undergo a kind of Darwinian selection not at the DNA level. And we can go off into space.
I’m surprised by the talent I find all over. There are always new chefs who propose many interesting new ideas, new ways of looking at ingredients.

In America, when you bring an idea to market, you usually have several months before competition pops up, allowing you to capture significant market share. In China, you can have hundreds of competitors within the first hours of going live. Ideas are not important in China – execution is.
We’re not going back anywhere, we’re going forward, we’re going forward in democracy, we’re going forward in participation, we’re going forward with ideas.
To me, business isn’t about wearing suits or pleasing stockholders. It’s about being true to yourself, your ideas and focusing on the essentials.

It is not once nor twice but times without number that the same ideas make their appearance in the world.
I think we are all interested in end-times ideas and also in the current climate that we are all living in, where money is a little harder to come by, things continue to get expensive; gas prices are not too far from people’s heads. There are more and more people. Human society’s going to have real problems.

I think one of the saddest things that’s happening to literature is that it’s getting over-simplified by this diet of simple political ideas.
Human beings are accustomed to think of intellect as the power of having and controlling ideas and of ability to learn as synonymous with ability to have ideas. But learning by having ideas is really one of the rare and isolated events in nature.

If people work together in an open way with porous boundaries – that is, if they listen to each other and really talk to each other – then they are bound to trade ideas that are mutual to each other and be influenced by each other. That mutual influence and open system of working creates collaboration.

We all have original ideas. Even if we don’t see ourselves as supercreative or as wild nonconformists, we have insights every day about how the world around us could be better. It might be a better way of running meetings in your office that would be less mind-numbing. It might be a little twist on a product or a service.
Quakers are known for wanting to give back. Ban the bomb and the civil rights movement and the native American struggle for justice – those things were very, very front-burner in my childhood, as were the ideas of working for peace and if you have more than you need, then you share it with people who don’t.
I just want credit for my ideas, because I am the creative force behind TLC.
You can have great ideas, and you can have all the right policy goals. But unless you’re expanding who is included in the political process, you won’t connect the two.

Many ideas grow better when transplanted into another mind than in the one where they sprang up.
Conflict is good in a negotiation process… it’s the clash of two ideas, which then, all being well, produces a third idea.

A moral monopoly is the antithesis of a marketplace of ideas.
Possible ideas and thoughts are vast in number. A distinct word for every distinct idea and thought would require a vast vocabulary. The problem in language is to express many ideas and thoughts with comparatively few words.

In the long run, much public opinion is made in the universities; ideas generated there filter down through the teaching profession and the students into the general public.

Scientists surely have a special responsibility. It is their ideas that form the basis of new technology. They should not be indifferent to the fruits of their ideas. They should forgo experiments that are risky or unethical.
I think you can make fun of anything except things people can’t help. They can’t help their race or their sex or their age, so you ridicule their pretension or their ego instead. You can ridicule ideas – ideas don’t have feelings. You can ridicule an idea that someone holds without hurting them.
I am interested in ideas, not merely in visual products.
Great actors try to dismiss all ideas from their conscious mind in order to provide an experience that is real.

When you work together in a creative way, you have to be less selfish about your ideas and learn to let both parties feel valued. Of course, that’s also a really great quality to have in a relationship, too.
By not caring too much about what people think, I’m able to think for myself and propagate ideas which are very often unpopular. And I succeed.
