No army can withstand the strength of an idea whose time has come.
Victor HugoTags: ideas
If I ever conceive any original idea, it will be because I have been abnormally prone to confuse ideas ... and I have thus found remote analogies and relations which others have not considered! Others rarely make these confusions, and proceed by precise analysis.
Kenneth J.W. CraikTags: creativity ideas analogies
Each voice carries a portion of value, no matter how unpalatable or distasteful that voice may be: no one person, government, ideology, transnational, or religious institution can own and dominate the whole.
B.W. PoweTags: opinions philosophy ideas value
I have tried to be a man of letters in love with ideas in order to be a wiser and more loving person, hoping to leave the world just a little better than I found it.
Cornel WestTags: love letters ideas wise idealist
The ideals which have always shone before me and filled me with joy are goodness, beauty, and truth.
Albert EinsteinTags: truth kindness beauty ideas
There are a thousand thoughts lying within a man that he does not know till he takes up the pen to write.
William Makepeace ThackerayTags: writing ideas awareness thoughts
The great enemy of truth is very often not the lie--deliberate, contrived and dishonest--but the myth--persistent, persuasive and unrealistic. Too often we hold fast to the cliches of our forebears. We subject all facts to a prefabricated set of interpretations. We enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.
[Commencement Address at Yale University, June 11 1962]

I like the scientific spirit—the holding off, the being sure but not too sure, the willingness to surrender ideas when the evidence is against them: this is ultimately fine—it always keeps the way beyond open—always gives life, thought, affection, the whole man, a chance to try over again after a mistake—after a wrong guess.
Walt WhitmanTags: science life certainty doubt thought mistake ideas affection skepticism scientific evidence humble guess surrender
If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange these apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas.
George Bernard ShawTags: ideas
Ideas and not battles mark the forward progress of mankind.
