Don't be a blueprint. Be an original.
You have to have an idea of what you are going to do, but it should be a vague idea.
You can't have good ideas unless you have lots of ideas.
If I'm hesitant at all about an idea, then that's not the right idea.
I have a good idea every two years. Give me a topic, I will give you the idea!
I had the idea that I should beat up every player I tangled with and nothing ever convinced me it wasn't a good idea.
I welcome and seek your ideas, but do not bring me small ideas; bring me big ideas to match our future.
No idea is so antiquated that it was not once modern. No idea is so modern that it will not someday be antiquated.
Everyone has an idea. But it’s really about executing the idea and attracting other people to help you work on the idea.
Just as a fish doesn't know it is wet, so companies often can't see or feel the very opportunities where they are swimming

Hindus and Westerners alike see in the meat-eating taboos of India a triumph of morals over appetite. This is a dangerous misrepresentation of cultural processes. Hindu vegetarianism was a victory not of spirit over matter but of reproductive over pr...
If the ego is not regularly and repeatedly dissolved in the unbounded hyperspace of the Transcendent Other, there will always be slow drift away from the sense of self as part of nature’s larger whole. The ultimate consequence of this drift is the ...
We know—more from the faces immortalized on a handful of photographs than from the words of survivors—that the women and men who experienced that moment in Hiroshima believed they had encountered the beginning of the end of the world. There will ...
For the primary goal of the American Revolution which transferred American life and introduced a new era in human history, was not the overthrow or even the alteration of the existing social order but the preservation of political liberty threatened ...
A man can lead a reasonably full life without a family, a fixed local residence, or a religious affiliation, but if he is stateless he is nothing. He has no rights, no security, and little opportunity for a useful career. There is no salvation on ear...
Certainly the shahadah contained an important theological innovation, but that innovation was not monotheism. With this simple profession of faith, Muhammad was declaring to Mecca that the God of the heavens and the earth required no intermediate wha...
As never before, he understood the vitality of tradition, the dignity of the worship of what had existed before one's own self had come into being. There was no shame in awe; there was exaltation. (“Cafe Endless: Spring Rain”)
