Quote

The innovative process is a fragile one, dependent on a complex, often messy interplay of imagination, competition, and exchange. Curbing new ideas hurts not only individual creators but the audience for which they create and the posterity that inherits their legacy.

Ideas are a capital that bears interest only in the hands of talent.

Since new developments are the products of a creative mind, we must therefore stimulate and encourage that type of mind in every way possible.

All ideas grow out of other ideas.

An interest in ideas is a sign of human life. People are fascinated by what the future is going to be - and the future is going to be an accumulation of ideas.

The multiplicity of ideas is what I'm interested in.

In the end, our minds and their ability to create new ideas are the ultimate source of all human wealth. That's a resource nearly without limit.

An idea is a point of departure and no more. As soon as you elaborate it, it becomes transformed by thought.

If all ideas have to be bought, then you have an intellectually regressive system that will assure you have a highly knowledgeable elite and an ignorant mass.

As creators, we feel constant demand for innovation from the world. This puts immense pressure on the creative process and oftentimes can have a dampening effect.
