Ideas Quotes
-
If somebody asks me about the themes of something I'm working on, I never have any idea what the themes are. . . . Somebody tells me the themes later. I sort of try to avoid developing themes. I want to just keep it a little bit more abstract. But then, what ends up happening is, they say, 'Well, I see a lot here that you did before, and it's connected to this other movie you did,' and . . . that almost seems like something I don't quite choose. It chooses me.
Wes Anderson

Having ADD makes life paradoxical. You can superfocus sometimes, but also space out when you least mean to. You can radiate confidence and also feel as insecure as a cat in a kennel. You can perform at the highest level, feeling incompetent as you do so. You can be loved by many, but feel as if no one really likes you. You can absolutely, totally, intend to do something, then forget to do it. You can have the greatest ideas in the world, but feel as if you can’t accomplish a thing.
Edward Hallowell

Paper has been the evangelist of many of the convictions that shaped history, carrying them to distant lands or simply to a groundswell of people who could never otherwise have absorbed them. Propagandist, tyrant, democratizer, tool, inventor, magician and technician all in one, paper’s power lies in its absence of personality. Quietly, inexpensively and often slowly, it has seeped around the world, and history’s most galvanizing ideas have hitched a lift on its surface.

Roughly 1 in 6 Americans have Irish blood. I'd say it's probably safe to assume that the average Irish-American who only comes out on St. Patrick's Day has no idea of the sort of economic powerhouse Ireland has become.
Scott McClellan
