Quote

Death can never kill an idea. Ideas are more powerful than death. Ideas outlive men and can never be destroyed.

A lot of times, people start out with a lot of good ideas, but then they don't execute. They lose the purity of their vision. You end up running around in circles.

Good ideas are often murdered by better ones.

Sometimes the best, and only effective, way to kill an idea is to put it into practice.

If I get even five per cent of my ideas out and documented before I die, I'll be lucky. I'm not in danger of running out of riffs or ideas anytime soon. They overwhelm me and it's hard to find time to deal with them.

The ideas dictate everything, you have to be true to that or you're dead.

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.

The English approach to ideas is not to kill them, but to let them die of neglect.

Ideas are one thing and what happens is another.

You never know when your ideas are going to come back to you.
