A person with a new idea is a crank until the idea succeeds.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I begin with an idea and then it becomes something else.
A real idea keeps changing and appears in many places.
Whoever undertakes to create soon finds himself engaged in creating himself.
You start with an idea but then so many things can happen.
Ideas move rapidly when their time comes.
Before someone can change his ideas, he has to open his heart.
If we like a man's dream, we call him a reformer; if we don't like his dream, we call him a crank.
It doesn't matter how new an idea is: what matters is how new it becomes.
An idea is a point of departure and no more. As soon as you elaborate it, it becomes transformed by thought.
The vitality of thought is in adventure. Ideas won't keep. Something must be done about them. When the idea is new, its custodians have fervor, live for it, and if need be, die for it.
