An idea can turn to dust or magic, depending on the talent that rubs against it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Yesterday I was thinking about the whole idea of genius and creative people, and the notion that if you create some magical art, somehow that exempts you from having to pay attention to the small things.
The real magic is in making the intangible idea, the creative impulse, manifest and live in our reality.
Creative thinking - in terms of idea creativity - is not a mystical talent. It is a skill that can be practised and nurtured.
Ideas are one thing and what happens is another.
Generating ideas isn't some mystical talent that you have to be born with: it's a skill you can develop.
In life, a lot of great ideas sound insane or absurd at first.
An idea is a point of departure and no more. As soon as you elaborate it, it becomes transformed by thought.
An idea, like a ghost, must be spoken to a little before it will explain itself.
You can only generate ideas when you put pencil to paper, brush to canvas... when you actually do something physical.
Ideas do not need to be esoteric to be original or exciting.
