If an idea is indeed sensible, it will eventually become just part of the accepted wisdom.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
What seems like a crazy idea today eventually grows. It's a 'with hindsight' thing. One day, someone will turn around and say, 'That was genius.'
An idea is a point of departure and no more. As soon as you elaborate it, it becomes transformed by thought.
The really good idea is always traceable back quite a long way, often to a not very good idea which sparked off another idea that was only slightly better, which somebody else misunderstood in such a way that they then said something which was really rather interesting.
A real idea keeps changing and appears in many places.
All ideas grow out of other ideas.
Not all ideas will be accepted, but every idea deserves its own space, and every idea deserves to be expressed.
No intelligent idea can gain general acceptance unless some stupidity is mixed in with it.
My ideas have undergone a process of emergence by emergency. When they are needed badly enough, they are accepted.
I know how to take good ideas and turn them into sensible law at great odds.
A great idea is usually original to more than one discoverer. Great ideas come when the world needs them. Great ideas surround the world's ignorance and press for admission.
