Quotations on the subject of Ideas.

Sourced

  • Books won't stay banned. They won't burn. Ideas won't go to jail. In the long run of history, the censor and the inquisitor have always lost. The only sure weapon against bad ideas is better ideas.
  • Don't worry about people stealing an idea. If it's original, you will have to ram it down their throats.
    • Howard H. Aiken, as quoted in Portraits in Silicon (1987) by Robert Slater
    • Variant: Don't worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you'll have to ram them down people's throats.
      • As quoted in A Computer Science Reader : Selections from Abacus (1988) by Eric A. Weiss, p. 404
  • There's no flesh or blood within this cloak to kill. There's only an idea. Ideas are bulletproof. Farewell.
  • Ideas, unlike solid structures, do not perish. They remain immortal, immaterial and everywhere, like all Divine things. Ideas are a golden, savage landscape that we wander unaware, without a map. Be careful: in the last analysis, reality may be exactly what we think it is.
  • We are told to remember the idea, not the man, because a man can fail. He can be taught, he can be killed and forgotten but, 400 years later, an idea can still change the world. I've witnessed first hand the power of ideas, I've seen people kill in the name of them, and die defending them ... but you cannot kiss an idea, cannot touch it, or hold it ... ideas do not bleed, they do not feel pain, they do not love.
  • One thing I learnt was never to hoard ideas because either they are not so relevant or they've gone stale. Whatever it is, pour them out.

Unsourced

  • If it's a good idea, go ahead and do it. It is much easier to apologize than it is to get permission.
  • If at first the idea is not absurd, then there is no hope for it.
  • Great ideas often receive violent opposition from mediocre minds.
  • A good idea is like a yo-yo-it may go to the end of its string, but it doesn't die there; it only sleeps. Eventually it rolls back up into your palm.
  • The best way to have a good idea is to have a lot of ideas.
  • All great ideas are controversial, or have been at one time.
