Ideas Quotes
-
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.

I think that most people go to bookshops and have no idea what they want to buy. Somehow the books sit there, almost magically willing people to pick them up. The right person for the right book.

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.

We are more connected than ever before, more able to spread our ideas and beliefs, our anger and fears. As we exercise the right to advocate our views, and as we animate our supporters, we must all assume responsibility for our words and actions before they enter a vast echo chamber and reach those both serious and delirious, connected and unhinged.
Bill Clinton
