Couture has copied my things for years, in addition to countless other costume designers, claiming theirs were the original ideas. It's all part of the business, unfortunately. ~ Edith Head
Original Ideas quotes by Edith Head
There are no original ideas. There are only original people. ~ Barbara Grizzuti Harrison
Original Ideas quotes by Barbara Grizzuti Harrison
I'm bored with the same genre, the same remakes of things. I like original ideas and high-concept things where it's off the page and kind of fantastical. ~ Nina Dobrev
Original Ideas quotes by Nina Dobrev
Some of us have great original ideas and some of us depend on adaptations. ~ Frank Darabont
Original Ideas quotes by Frank Darabont
For original ideas to come about, you have to let them percolate under the level of consciousness in a place where we have no way to make them obey our own desires or our own direction. Their random combinations are driven by forces we don't know about. ~ Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
Original Ideas quotes by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
No planet is as magical as our earth in the solar system because earth has millions of planets within: Original ideas! Yes, any orijinal idea is a planet where you can happily breathe and live inside! ~ Mehmet Murat Ildan
Original Ideas quotes by Mehmet Murat Ildan
My original idea was to produce and not make records myself. ~ T Bone Burnett
Original Ideas quotes by T Bone Burnett
A lot of people are joking about the Windows 10 error message that says 'Something Happened'. Well, that's not on me. My original idea was to not have any errors at all, and for the operating system to be called Windows RT ME One. ~ Satya Nadella
Original Ideas quotes by Satya Nadella
There are three related ideas, which I will elaborate as we go on. They are imagination, which is the process of bringing to mind things that are not present to our senses; creativity, which is the process of developing original ideas that have value, and innovation, which is the process of putting new ideas into practice. ~ Ken Robinson
Original Ideas quotes by Ken Robinson
A book is not only written - after it's finished it starts writing you, the writer. You become its notebook, its sheet of paper on which it forces you to think and rethink your original ideas, your topics, your research, actually everything. ~ Sasa Stanisic
Original Ideas quotes by Sasa Stanisic
Every really new idea looks crazy at first. ~ Alfred North Whitehead
Original Ideas quotes by Alfred North Whitehead
As usual the Liberals offer a mixture of sound and original ideas. Unfortunately none of the sound ideas is original and none of the original ideas is sound. ~ Harold Macmillan
Original Ideas quotes by Harold Macmillan
Somewhere along the way, the idea, which I think was initially to get some fair transaction between people, went out the window. And what came in was, the most you can get and the least you can give. That's why cars are the way they are nowadays. It's just an erosion of all the things that were true and right about the original idea. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Original Ideas quotes by Bruce Springsteen
We Americans love original ideas. But truly, there are already plenty of good ones out there, ours for the taking. If I were too proud to copy the ideas of others, I likely wouldn't have even a fraction of my current success. ~ Mohnish Pabrai
Original Ideas quotes by Mohnish Pabrai
Really good original ideas are very hard to come up with. Good ideas - easy. Really good, original ideas - it can take months. ~ Nicholas Sparks
Original Ideas quotes by Nicholas Sparks
As cliched as it sounds, if you have an original voice and an original idea, then no matter what anybody says, you have to find a way to tell that story. ~ Damon Lindelof
Original Ideas quotes by Damon Lindelof
Most "original" ideas aren't completely original, but instead are the result of two basic methods for generating ideas: problems in search of solutions and solutions in search of problems. ~ Barry Nalebuff
Original Ideas quotes by Barry Nalebuff
I like rhyme because it is memorable, I like form because having to work to a pattern gives me original ideas. ~ Anne Stevenson
Original Ideas quotes by Anne Stevenson
The odd thing in this world is that an eager-beaver type, with no original ideas, who mimes those in authority above him right to the last twist of necktie and scrape of chin, always gets noticed. Gets selected. Rises. ~ Philip K. Dick
Original Ideas quotes by Philip K. Dick
As for borrowing Mr. Whistler's ideas about art, the only thoroughly original ideas I have heard him express have had reference to his own superiority as a painter over painters greater than himself. ~ Oscar Wilde
Original Ideas quotes by Oscar Wilde
I owe as much of my success to an uncompromising obstinacy as to any original ideas. ~ Albert Einstein
Original Ideas quotes by Albert Einstein
The way to get good ideas is to get lots of ideas, and throw the bad ones away. ~ Linus Pauling
Original Ideas quotes by Linus Pauling
Realizing how often ingenious speculation in the complex biological world has led nowhere and how often the real advances in biology as well as in chemistry, physics and astronomy have kept within the bounds of mechanistic interpretation, we geneticists should rejoice, even with our noses on the grindstone (which means both eyes on the objectives), that we have at command an additional means of testing whatever original ideas pop into our heads. ~ Thomas Hunt Morgan
Original Ideas quotes by Thomas Hunt Morgan
Teachers should not fear going off plan if a better learning opportunity presents itself. Plans are plans, but children are living, breathing, creative people, who deserve to have their questions answered and original ideas explored. ~ Adele Devine
Original Ideas quotes by Adele Devine
When someone steals your original ideas? Feel sorry for them.
When someone steals your thunder or applause? Feel sorry for them.
When someone doesn't support your dreams or work ?

Feel sorry for them.

But when someone steals your truth, your voice, your heart or your words?

Feel truly sorry for them

And then kick their ass.
It's yours.

Because you've been way too fucking polite. ~ R.M. Engelhardt
Original Ideas quotes by R.M. Engelhardt
Humanity needs more than merely information. We express original ideas, humor, and our personal wills. We express passions and emotions. A person's point of view conveys all of these aspects of identity. ~ Hideo Kojima
Original Ideas quotes by Hideo Kojima
Ideas can be life-changing. Sometimes all you need to open the door is just one more good idea. ~ Jim Rohn
Original Ideas quotes by Jim Rohn
If you come up with the original idea on your laptop, anything else is an embellishment of that idea. It's nice to have the option to mix inside a big studio, but at the end of the day, it comes from an original spark, which often happens while sitting on the couch. ~ Hudson Mohawke
Original Ideas quotes by Hudson Mohawke
Everyone is a genius at least once a year. The real geniuses simply have their bright ideas closer together. ~ Georg Christoph Lichtenberg
Original Ideas quotes by Georg Christoph Lichtenberg
Some people have no original ideas because they do not think well enough of themselves to consider their ideas worth noticing and developing. ~ Eric Hoffer
Original Ideas quotes by Eric Hoffer
No mathematician should ever allow him to forget that mathematics, more than any other art or science, is a young man's game. ... Galois died at twenty-one, Abel at twenty-seven, Ramanujan at thirty-three, Riemann at forty. There have been men who have done great work later; ... [but] I do not know of a single instance of a major mathematical advance initiated by a man past fifty. ... A mathematician may still be competent enough at sixty, but it is useless to expect him to have original ideas. ~ G.H. Hardy
Original Ideas quotes by G.H. Hardy
But I owe something to Vincent, and that is, in the consciousness of having been useful to him, the confirmation of my own original ideas about painting. And also, at difficult moments, the remembrance that one finds others unhappier than oneself. ~ Paul Gauguin
Original Ideas quotes by Paul Gauguin
I have not yet learned to live, that I can see, and I fear that I shall not very soon. I find, however, that in the long run things correspond to my original idea,
that they correspond to nothing else so much; and thus a man may really be a true prophet without any great exertion. The day is never so dark, nor the night even, but that the laws at least of light still prevail, and so may make it light in our minds if they are open to the truth. ~ Henry David Thoreau
Original Ideas quotes by Henry David Thoreau
I don't consider myself a musician who has achieved perfection and can't develop any further. But I compose my pieces with a formula that I created myself. Take a musician like John Coltrane. He is a perfect musician, who can give expression to all the possibilities of his instrument. But he seems to have difficulty expressing original ideas on it. That is why he keeps looking for ideas in exotic places. At least I don't have that problem, because, like I say, I find my inspiration in myself. ~ Thelonious Monk
Original Ideas quotes by Thelonious Monk
Some of the best inventive moments are born out of 'wrong thinking'. Most people start with the right way so they all follow the same path. The wrong way will lead to mistakes from which you can learn and create new discoveries-the kind of original ideas that come to life when we dare to be different, keep an open mind, and have no fear of failure. ~ James Dyson
Original Ideas quotes by James Dyson
Almost all new ideas have a certain aspect of foolishness when they are first produced. ~ Alfred North Whitehead
Original Ideas quotes by Alfred North Whitehead
There's a theme that appears in much of your work," I say to Maurice on my last visit to Connecticut, "and I can only hint at it because it's difficult to formulate or describe. It has something to do with the lines: 'As I went over the water/the water went over me' [from As I Went over the Water] or 'I'm in the milk and the milk's in me' [from Night Kitchen]."

"Obviously I have one theme, and it's even in the book I'm working on right now. It's not that I have such original ideas, just that I'm good at doing variations on the same idea over and over again. You can't imagine how relieved I was to find out that Henry James admitted he had only a couple of themes and that all of his books were based on them. That's all we need as artists - one power-driven fantasy or obsession, then to be clever enough to do variations… like a series of variations by Mozart. They're so good that you forget they're based on one theme. The same things draw me, the same images…"

"What is this one obsession?"

"I'm not about to tell you - not because it's a secret, but because I can't verbalize it."

"There's a line by Bob Dylan in 'Just Like a Woman' which talks about being 'inside the rain.'"

"Inside the rain?"

"When it's raining outside," I explain, "I often feel inside myself, as if I were inside the rain… as if the rain were my self. That's the sense I get from Dylan's image and from your books as well."

"It's strange y ~ Jonathan Cott
Original Ideas quotes by Jonathan Cott
There's a lot [of coaches], and I think in this profession, none of us invented this game, we got it from someone else, and if there's an idea, there's probably never been an original idea in football. ~ Chip Kelly
Original Ideas quotes by Chip Kelly
The only problem with Microsoft is they just have no taste. They have absolutely no taste. And I don't mean that in a small way, I mean that in a big way, in the sense that they don't think of original ideas, and they don't bring much culture into their products. ~ Steve Jobs
Original Ideas quotes by Steve Jobs
To create man was a quaint and original idea, but to add the sheep was tautology. ~ Mark Twain
Original Ideas quotes by Mark Twain
Look, I know you meant well creating the world and all, but how could you let it get away from you like this? How come you couldn't stick with your original idea of paradise? People's lives were a mess. ~ Sue Monk Kidd
Original Ideas quotes by Sue Monk Kidd
Disney usually doesn't do pitches for original ideas. ~ Richard LaGravenese
Original Ideas quotes by Richard LaGravenese
We now live in a world both in film and television where everything is based on something. You point out, "Star Wars" was an original screenplay, "Raiders of the Lost Ark," an original screenplay, "Ghostbusters" an original screenplay, "Back to the Future." All these things that people love were original ideas many years ago. ~ Alfred Gough
Original Ideas quotes by Alfred Gough
Essayists must not only be succinct but have original ideas and, even harder to come by, or to fake, likable voices. Consciously or not, they endeavor to win us over by charm. If an essayist can not only charm but write the unforgettable sentence, one that reveals the heart in a few words, I'm her slave. ~ Cyra McFadden
Original Ideas quotes by Cyra McFadden
The real Antichrist is he who turns the wine of an original idea into the water of mediocrity. ~ Eric Hoffer
Original Ideas quotes by Eric Hoffer
It's important to respect and exhaustively study the masters of music, but as you grow and develop it's important to use their discoveries, not as a final destination but as a catalyst for your original ideas. ~ Carl Orr
Original Ideas quotes by Carl Orr
I would want kids to talk and write about how the book makes them feel, what it reminded them of, if it changed their thoughts about anything. I'd have them keep a journal and have them freewrite after they read each assignment. What did this make you think about? That's what I'd want to know. I think you could get some really original ideas that way, not the old regurgitated ones like man versus nature. Just shoot me if I ever assign anyone an essay about man versus nature. Questions like that are designed to pull you completely out of the story. Why would you want to pull kids out of the story? You want to push them further in, so they can feel everything the author tried so hard to create for them. ~ Lily King
Original Ideas quotes by Lily King
A good scientist is a person with original ideas. A good engineer is a person who makes a design that works with as few original ideas as possible. ~ Freeman Dyson
Original Ideas quotes by Freeman Dyson
The longer I have been on the raw food path, the more I tend to come full circle and return to where my original ideas and inspiration of wanting to eat raw food come from - and that's natural hygiene and its principles. ~ Kytka Hilmar-Jezek
Original Ideas quotes by Kytka Hilmar-Jezek
If I had a chance to do things over again, I might not start singing. It was my husband Doolittle's idea. He pushed me out there, the booger. And I'm out there now, so I might as well make the best of it. ~ Loretta Lynn
Original Ideas quotes by Loretta Lynn
The truth is that computer science is not really about the computer. It is just a tool to help you see ideas more clearly. ~ Carlos Bueno
Original Ideas quotes by Carlos Bueno
Mr. Speaker, I agree with those who say that the Global War on Terrorism is actually a Global War of Ideas and that terrorism is one of the tactics used in that War. ~ Mac Thornberry
Original Ideas quotes by Mac Thornberry
I think it's very rare, as an actor, that you get to a script, or an idea of a script, and you go, "Oh, I just have to do that!" It fell into place very quickly. ~ Oliver Jackson-Cohen
Original Ideas quotes by Oliver Jackson-Cohen
Some people engage in retail therapy, buying new things to make themselves feel more secure, and others engage in knowledge therapy, amassing new ideas to make themselves feel like they know something. We consume for comfort. We rely on certainty to shield us from the pain of confusion. The truth is staggering, colossal, unfathomable, so we cling to our bite-sized lies. We organize knowledge into bulleted lists and line graphs while the wisdom of the present moment sits patiently at the doors of our perception. ~ Vironika Tugaleva
Original Ideas quotes by Vironika Tugaleva
Perhaps many of the perplexing problems of the new music could be put into a new light if we were to reintroduce the ancient idea of music being a reflection of nature. ~ George Crumb
Original Ideas quotes by George Crumb
If you're using your imagination, you tend to look into the past for ideas. ~ Paul McCartney
Original Ideas quotes by Paul McCartney
Spiritual formation in Christ moves toward a total interchange of our ideas and images for his. ~ Dallas Willard
Original Ideas quotes by Dallas Willard
Here is a definition which correctly reflects the course of thought and action of a grandmaster: - The plan in a game of chess is the sum total of successive strategical operations which are each carried out according to separate ideas arising from the demands of the position. ~ Alexander Kotov
Original Ideas quotes by Alexander Kotov
My wife Margaret is the best thing that's ever happened to me. ~ Ryne Sandberg
Original Ideas quotes by Ryne Sandberg
create an environment supportive enough that people are willing to share their genius, but confrontational enough to improve ideas and spark new thinking. ~ Anonymous
Original Ideas quotes by Anonymous
Do and dare what is right, not swayed by the whim of the moment. Bravely take hold of the real, not dallying now with what might be. Not in the flight of ideas but only in action is freedom. Make up your mind and come out into the tempest of living. God's command is enough and your faith in him to sustain you. Then at last freedom will welcome your spirit amid great rejoicing. ~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Original Ideas quotes by Dietrich Bonhoeffer
I very much wish that some day or other you may have time to learn Greek, because that language is an idea. Even a little of it is like manure to the soil of the mind, and makes it bear finer flowers. ~ Sara Coleridge
Original Ideas quotes by Sara Coleridge
Events in life mean nothing if you do not reflect on them in a deep way, and ideas from books are pointless if they have no application to life as you live it. ~ Robert Greene
Original Ideas quotes by Robert Greene
To hell with ideas - if people always did what, on careful consideration, was in their most selfish interest, there would be nothing with the world, there would be nothing wrong with the world. Who wants to die and starve? Nobody. If people weren't driven crazy by ideas and their God, nobody would, for instance, go to war in order to starve and to die a beastly death. ~ Bela Zsolt
Original Ideas quotes by Bela Zsolt
I think a good MP is someone who cares for their community and becomes their champion, which is why I will make my home in any seat I am lucky enough to be selected for. Looks play no part in the equation, what matters is your ideas and connecting them to the electorate. ~ Adam Rickitt
Original Ideas quotes by Adam Rickitt
Daniel Kahneman is one of the most original and interesting thinkers of our time. ~ Daniel Kahneman
Original Ideas quotes by Daniel Kahneman
I spoke at TED Global 2010 about the ways that video games engage the brain, and in particular, the idea of reward structures: how a challenge or task can be broken down and presented to make it as engaging as possible. ~ Tom Chatfield
Original Ideas quotes by Tom Chatfield
The role we can play every day, if we try, is to take the whole experience of every day and shape it to involve American man. It is our job to interest him in his community and to give his ideas the excitement they should have. ~ John Hay Whitney
Original Ideas quotes by John Hay Whitney
If you've got an idea, start today. There's no better time than now to get going. That doesn't mean quit your job and jump into your idea 100% from day one, but there's always small progress that can be made to start the movement. ~ Kevin Systrom
Original Ideas quotes by Kevin Systrom
On a spiritual level, on a place where you want to be a better human being and listen more, I try. I joke, but it has. I mean, I don't consider myself a card-carrying Buddhist, you know. But I do believe deeply in the ideas, and I think anytime you have interest in anything, it somehow humbles you. ~ Jake Gyllenhaal
Original Ideas quotes by Jake Gyllenhaal
I carry a small spiral notebook with me at all times and have been doing this for many years. There's a shoe box in my closet filled with these notebooks, each riddled with notes and impressions, ideas, schemes, and soup recipes. ~ Patrick DeWitt
Original Ideas quotes by Patrick DeWitt
Why is history important? Without history, many people have no idea how many of today's half-baked ideas have been tried, again and again - and have repeatedly led to disaster. Most of these ideas are not new. They are just being recycled with re-treaded rhetoric. ~ Thomas Sowell
Original Ideas quotes by Thomas Sowell
The idea of romanticising the world goes back to the idea of creating a harmonious whole where the individual will feel at one with himself, others and nature. ~ Frederick C. Beiser
Original Ideas quotes by Frederick C. Beiser
Words are mere shadows cast by ideas. But the ideas they represent are real. ~ Roy H. Williams
Original Ideas quotes by Roy H. Williams
I watch TV more than I used to, and the commercials don't impress me. The standard of execution is very high, but the standard of ideas is appalling. ~ Paul Arden
Original Ideas quotes by Paul Arden
Quantity is not necessarily synonymous with quality and brilliant ideas are not a function of the number of titles printed. ~ Carlo M. Cipolla
Original Ideas quotes by Carlo M. Cipolla
One, something emotional has to be at stake. There has to be something important for me that I'm writing about. And then two, I have to have a formal idea. Something has to be being worked out in poetry. ~ Edward Hirsch
Original Ideas quotes by Edward Hirsch
The problem with cliches is not that they contain false ideas, but rather that they are superficial articulations of very good ones. The sun is often on fire at sunset and the moon discreet, but if we keep saying this every time we encounter a sun or a moon, we will end up believing that this is the last rather than the first word to be said on the subject. Cliches are detrimental insofar as they inspire us to believe that they adequately describe a situation while merely grazing its surface. ~ Alain De Botton
Original Ideas quotes by Alain De Botton
People have judged you; you have accepted their idea without any scrutiny. And you are suffering from all kinds of people's judgments, and you are throwing those judgments on other people. And this game has become out of proportion. The whole humanity is suffering from it. If you want to get out of it, the first thing is: Don't judge yourself. ~ Rajneesh
Original Ideas quotes by Rajneesh
She was an original ... She was an eccentric. She'd come alive like a fire, telling funny stories and entertaining everyone, then she'd suddenly run out of fuel, make her excuses and leave. You always knew when she'd had enough. Those that didn't would find themselves talk to the walls. ~ Santa Montefiore
Original Ideas quotes by Santa Montefiore
Overall, I'm happy how 'Original Sin' has come together. It's an amalgam of all I've done at Marvel, mixing the gritty, violent 'Punisher Max' stuff with the zany, light-hearted 'Wolverine & The X-Men' work. ~ Jason Aaron
Original Ideas quotes by Jason Aaron
Oh, my father sighs, if only we had a screwdriver that could unscrew wrongheaded ideas; if only we had a hammer to drive home good intentions; if only we had a pipe wrench to tighten hearts in everlasting love; a saw that we could use to make a clean cut with the past! ~ Stefano Benni
Original Ideas quotes by Stefano Benni
Science usually operates in sort of three modes, things that are well established, we know what we're talking about, more highly confident. There are competing explanations, we have a pretty good idea, but we're not sure. And then things are speculative. ~ Stephen Schneider
Original Ideas quotes by Stephen Schneider
It's the pool where we all go down to drink, to swim, to catch a little fish from the edge of the shore; it's also the pool where some hardy souls go out in their flimsy wooden boats after the big ones. It is the pool of life, the cup of imagination, and she has an idea that different people see different versions of it, but with two things ever in common: it's always about a mile deep in the Fairy Forest, and it's always sad. Because imagination isn't the only thing this place is about. ~ Stephen King
Original Ideas quotes by Stephen King
I throw ideas out into the open when I really should just be writing them down in a journal. ~ Dan Deacon
Original Ideas quotes by Dan Deacon
At last I understood that the way over, or through this dilemma, the unease at writing about 'petty personal problems' was to recognize that nothing is personal, in the sense that it is uniquely one's own. Writing about oneself, one is writing about others, since your problems, pains, pleasures, emotions - and your extraordinary and remarkable ideas - can't be yours alone. [ ... ] Growing up is after all only the understanding that one's unique and incredible experience is what everyone shares. ~ Doris Lessing
Original Ideas quotes by Doris Lessing
I've always been a huge fan of theatre and performance. The idea of just the human voice and just this night. Live music is the same. They're doing it for you right now. It's an amazing thing. And if you perform a story properly, it can be a transporting, too. ~ T.C. Boyle
Original Ideas quotes by T.C. Boyle
I dislike interaction. The less I say the better I feel. I was naturally a loner. I didn't want conversation, or to goanywhere. I didn't understand other people who wanted to share their emotions. Parties sickened me. I was drawn to
all the wrong things: I was lazy
, I didn't have a god, politics, ideas, ideals. I was settled into nothingness; a kind of non
-
being, and I accepted it. I didn't make for an interesting person. I didn't want to be interesting, it was too hard. What I
really wanted was only a soft, hazy space to live in, and to be left alone. Relationships never worked with me. I alwayslost interest. I simply disliked people, crowds, anywhere, except at my readings. ~ Charles Bukowski
Original Ideas quotes by Charles Bukowski
when I think of really living, living to the full - all my ideas are just the opening credits of sitcoms. ~ M T Anderson
Original Ideas quotes by M T Anderson
Truth, like time, is an idea arising from, and dependent upon, human intercourse. ~ Isak Dinesen
Original Ideas quotes by Isak Dinesen
If you do not start with the idea, you are creating fine art - its personal, but it tends not to communicate. ~ Seymour Chwast
Original Ideas quotes by Seymour Chwast
When we see Reality, we are completely beyond the world of words and concepts. We experience what words cannot express, what ideas cannot contain, what speech cannot communicate. ~ Steve Hagen
Original Ideas quotes by Steve Hagen
The idea that even the brightest person or group of bright people, much less the U.S. Congress, can wisely manage an economy has to be the height of arrogance and conceit. ~ Walter E. Williams
Original Ideas quotes by Walter E. Williams
Here's one of the great things, and I may have said this somewhere, so forgive me. Curb ideas are not Veep ideas. I definitely have my Curb idea list that I've been carrying around for the last five years. ~ David Mandel
Original Ideas quotes by David Mandel
I sang in the coffee houses ... in the early 60's with no idea of success in terms of records or television. I just thought I was a storyteller. I had this deep, bassy voice. But I had incredible passion for the music I was singing. ~ Judy Collins
Original Ideas quotes by Judy Collins
I take in a lot of stuff from real life, movies, television, news and it all gets mixed in my head and somehow turns into a story idea. ~ Janet Evanovich
Original Ideas quotes by Janet Evanovich
