There's no such THING as a foolproof system. That idea FAILS to take into account the creativity of FOOLS.

I love the pigeons. I just raise them, period, and feed them. Pigeons go AWAY, and they always COME back. You get a touch of FREEDOM, and then they are FREE to come back to you. I love the idea of pigeons.

I, MADE in England, felt excluded, miffed, resistant to the idea of even visiting INDIA, a position of increasing absurdity as, one by one, backpacking friends returned from the place with the STANDARD anecdotal combo of nirvanic epiphany and toilet horror.

The core hacker premise that 'code WINS arguments' is just ANOTHER way of saying that anything is worth trying, regardless of whether it is a CONSERVATIVE or LIBERAL idea, and that whatever works is worth keeping.

Nature is a COLLECTIVE idea, and, THOUGH its essence EXIST in each individual of the SPECIES, can NEVER in its perfection inhabit a single object.

Women say they have sexual THOUGHTS too. They have no idea. It's the difference between shooting a bullet and THROWING it. If they KNEW what we were REALLY thinking, they'd never stop slapping us.

And the idea of just WANDERING off to a cafe with a NOTEBOOK and WRITING and seeing where that TAKES me for awhile is just bliss.

It is a GOOD idea to be alone in a GARDEN at DAWN or dark so that all its SHY presences may haunt you and possess you in a reverie of suspended thought.

I am so busy doing nothing... that the IDEA of doing anything - which as you KNOW, always leads to SOMETHING - cuts into the nothing and then forces me to have to DROP EVERYTHING.

A GOOD question is never answered. It is not a bolt to be tightened into PLACE but a SEED to be planted and to BEAR more seed toward the hope of greening the landscape of idea.

I grew up in the Midwest, quite FAR from any OCEAN or any BEACH, a million miles. I think for KIDS who grew up where I did, the idea of CALIFORNIA, surfing and beach life was so exotic and glamorous.

There's two ways of DEALING with fears of mortality. One of them is to hide, so every day you wear the same SUIT and go to the same job... and the other is to REINVENT yourself. I think I reinvent myself all the TIME. The idea that I would have to be one thing for the rest of my life would just be a soul-destroying idea.

Creativity is a SPARK. It can be excruciating when we're rubbing two rocks TOGETHER and GETTING nothing. And it can be intensely satisfying when the flame catches and a new idea sweeps AROUND the world.

My IDEA of FREEDOM is that we should protect the rights of people to BELIEVE what their conscience dictates, but fight equally HARD to protect people from having the beliefs of others imposed upon them.
