I like the idea that we build up these walls or rules or laws to maintain our reality, and when they fall away, you're left with a whole bunch of illusions. Smoke and mirrors.
Sarah McLachlan
I had a monumental idea this morning, but I didn't like it.
Samuel Goldwyn
A definition is the enclosing a wilderness of idea within a wall of words.
Samuel Beckett

If an idea's worth having once, it's worth having twice.
Tom Stoppard
Whatever ideals we would impress upon others we must first have realized in ourselves.
Thomas Spencer Monson
Ideals are like the stars - you can't touch them with your hands, but by following them you reach your destination.
[...] times of great idealism carry equal chances for great corruptibility.
Thomas Pynchon
Damn you all. You have no idea what you're heading into. This world you take to be 'the' world will die, and descend into Hell, and all history after that will belong properly to the history of Hell.

T. D Jakes
Working for with someone who has no idea what they wanted... it would just be so all over the place, especially with something on this scale. You have to know what you want with this.
Vanessa Hudgens
I'm always open to the possibility that somebody's got a better idea than I have. It happens with some frequency.
William Shatner
Every piece of entertainment is made with the idea that 'This is going to be terrific' and 'This is the best thing I've ever done' and then it hits the public and then the public tells you whether it's good or bad.
The greatest ideas are the simplest.
William Gerald Golding
She had certain thoughts which were like companions, ideas which were like older and wiser friends.
Willa Cather
I think the idea that you know who your inner self is on a daily basis, because... you know. What's good for you 25 years ago may not be good for you now. So, to keep in touch with that, I think that's the first ingredient for success. Because if you're a successful human being, everything else is gravy, I think.
Whoopi Goldberg
Ideas are to objects as constellations are to stars [translated from Trauerspiel, 1928].
Walter Benjamin
“You remind me of Edgar Allan Poe's Dupin. I had no idea that such individuals did exist out of stories.”
Arthur Conan Doyle
“Here, then, are three sources of vague and incorrect definitions: indistinctness of the object, imperfection of the organ of conception, inadequateness of the vehicle of ideas. Any one of these must produce a certain degree of obscurity.”
Alexander Hamilton
“I have always considered David Hume as approaching as nearly the idea of a perfectly wise and virtuous man as perhaps the nature of human frailty will allow.”
Adam Smith
