Idea Quotes
-
Sometimes the best, and only effective, way to kill an idea is to put it into practice.
Sydney J. Harris

From then on, my idea of grace is fulfilling your talent completely, and my only idea of sin is misusing that gift. The dread of not becoming completely what you can be is so strong that sometimes later in life it will paralyze me. How horrible to do the wrong thing, the thing that doesn't express your essence - and how horrible to fall short of your powers, or to discover that they might be more meager than their seemingly limitless potential!
Eva Hoffman
-

Ethan Hawke

Perhaps it is better in this present world of ours that a revolutionary idea or invention instead of being helped and patted, be hampered and ill-treated in its adolescence - by want of means, by selfish interest, pedantry, stupidity and ignorance; that it be attacked and stifled; that it pass through bitter trials and tribulations, through the heartless strife of commercial existence. So do we get our light. So all that was great in the past was ridiculed, condemned, combated, suppressed - only to emerge all the more powerfully, all the more triumphantly from the struggle.
Nikola Tesla
-
An idea, like a ghost, must be spoken to a little before it will explain itself.
Charles Dickens
-
You can't plan your character arc - you have a vague idea, maybe, but I'm constantly surprised. Sometimes actors in films will play the ending of the movie, or even the middle, and you know where it's going - as an audience member you can read the actor.
Evan Peters
-
I'm not a massive artist by any stretch of the imagination. Yes, I've been in papers and magazines, but you never have any idea if anyone actually reads it or pays any attention.
Ben Eine
-
The idea that we can operate in different times is very important for me. And it manifests in daily life or when you meditate. In a way, it's a very scientific thing that you experience for yourself, how time passes, how your body can react to time in different ways.
Apichatpong Weerasethakul
-
Idea and experience will never coincide in the center; only through art and action are they united.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

I had figured out that it was a bad idea, but, well, it´s hard to argue with love, even when it´s making you do something really stupid.
Adam Selzer
