If you have a great idea, you should be able to communicate it as well. It's like the sound of one hand clapping. You have a great idea but aren't able to express it - well, how great was the idea?
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I feel that the great challenge of our time is the communication of ideas.
I have this belief that if you have an idea, and you have to write it down to remember it, then it can't be a great idea.
The ability to express an idea is well nigh as important as the idea itself.
You can have brilliant ideas, but if you can't get them across, your ideas won't get you anywhere.
You don't have to have a great art idea - just get to work and something will happen. So that's pretty much my modus operandi and pretty much my principal position, such as it is.
I would very much like to be one of those writers who have something really clear in their head to say, and throughout their life they promote this idea in their works.
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.
I don't think there is such a thing as an idea without words, because your language is your thought.
It is wise to persuade people to do things and make them think it was their own idea.
The best way to have a good idea is to have a lot of ideas.
