Never have I thought so much, never have I realized my own existence so much, been so much alive, been so much myself...as in those journeys which I have made alone and afoot. Walking has something in it which animates and heightens my ideas: I can scarcely think when I stay in one place; … Continue reading Quote for Today: Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Quote for Today: Caroline Ghosn
Collaboration is like carbonation for fresh ideas. Working together bubbles up ideas you would not have come up with solo, which gets you further faster. --Caroline Ghosn Public Domain Image: Soda Bubbles Macro via wikipedia
Quote for Today: Alice Munro
You are saying, are you not, I said to Manuelito, that stories have more room in them than ideas? He laughed. That is correct, Señor. It is as if ideas are made of blocks. Rigid and hard. And stories are made of a gauze that is elastic. You can almost see through it, so what … Continue reading Quote for Today: Alice Munro
Quote for Today: Regina Spektor
As soon as you try and take a song from your mind into piano and voice and into the real world, something gets lost and it's like a moment where, in that moment, you forget how it was and it's this new way. And then when you make a record, even those ideas that you … Continue reading Quote for Today: Regina Spektor
Quote for Today: Nick Hornby

Quote for Today: Emilie Autumn
I feel as though, if I were to extend my hand just a little toward the pool where the ideas ferment, I could grab at the idea and pull it out of the pool and onto the floor where ideas must stand before the jury of the brain. There, it must present itself, still from … Continue reading Quote for Today: Emilie Autumn

Quote for Today: Terence McKenna
You are an explorer, and you represent our species, and the greatest good you can do is to bring back a new idea, because our world is endangered by the absence of good ideas. Our world is in crisis because of the absence of consciousness. ―Terence McKenna Public Domain Image via NASA
Quote for Today: Ray Bradbury
As soon as things get difficult, I walk away. That's the great secret of creativity. You treat ideas like cats: you make them follow you. If you try to approach a cat and pick it up, hell, it won't let you do it. You've got to say, "Well, to hell with you." And the cat … Continue reading Quote for Today: Ray Bradbury
