Pierre Teilhard de Chardin‚Kiss Land‘ wasn’t about what people wanted to hear on the radio. It was the state of mind I was in – introverted, like David Cronenberg’s ‚Naked Lunch.‘ You didn’t know if you were hearing a chorus or a verse. It was just my thoughts.
The WeekndBehavior is what a man does, not what he thinks, feels, or believes.

Kurt VonnegutIdeas excite me, and as soon as I get excited, the adrenaline gets going and the next thing I know I’m borrowing energy from the ideas themselves.
Ray BradburyWith ideas it is like with dizzy heights you climb: At first they cause you discomfort and you are anxious to get down, distrustful of your own powers; but soon the remoteness of the turmoil of life and the inspiring influence of the altitude calm your blood; your step gets firm and sure and you begin to look – for dizzier heights.
Nikola TeslaSongwriting is my way of channeling my feelings and my thoughts. Not just mine, but the things I see, the people I care about. My head would explode if I didn’t get some of that stuff out.
Dolly PartonWhen I grew up, the Devil was a reason why I had a headache or the Devil was the reason I got mad today. We always blamed the Devil. I think today when I say the Enemy, I like to make it broader. Sometimes the Enemy can be our own thoughts.

Samuel JohnsonCollege isn’t the place to go for ideas.

Mark TwainFor just when ideas fail, a word comes in to save the situation.

Richard P. FeynmanA man seldom thinks with more earnestness of anything than he does of his dinner.
Samuel JohnsonThose thoughts are truth which guide us to beneficial interaction with sensible particulars as they occur, whether they copy these in advance or not.

Noam ChomskyMy daughter has impressions that she does of me.
Kevin HartThoughts are the shadows of our feelings – always darker, emptier and simpler.
Friedrich NietzscheHe is the greatest artist who has embodied, in the sum of his works, the greatest number of the greatest ideas.
John RuskinThe world moves, and ideas that were once good are not always good.
Dwight D. EisenhowerDon’t think you are going to conceal thoughts by concealing evidence that they ever existed.
Dwight D. EisenhowerOne must marry one’s feelings to one’s beliefs and ideas. That is probably the only way to achieve a measure of harmony in one’s life.
Napoleon HillWhen I arrived in Laos and found young Americans living there, out of free choice, I was surprised. After only a week, I began to have a sense of the appeal of the country and its people – along with despair about its future.
