"Let ideas establish their legitimate sway again..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“People only see what they are prepared to see. If you look for what is good and what you can be grateful for you will find it everywhere.”

“All my hurts my garden spade can heal.”

“As long as a man stands in his own way, everything seems to be in his way.”

“Genius is when an idea and the execution of that idea are simultaneous.”

“There’s a temptation in our networked age to think that ideas can be developed by email and iChat. That’s crazy. Creativity comes from spontaneous meetings, from random discussions. You run into someone, you ask what they’re doing, you say ‘wow,’ and soon you’re cooking up all sorts of ideas.”

“Ideas... they have the power”

“There are only two kinds of people who are really fascinating - people who know absolutely everything, and people who know absolutely nothing.”

“Freedom of the press is to the machinery of the state what the safety valve is to the steam engine.”

“If everybody is looking for it, then nobody is finding it. If we were cultured, we would not be conscious of lacking culture. We would regard it as something natural and would not make so much fuss about it. And if we knew the real value of this word we would be cultured enough not to give it so much importance.”
