Frequently Asked Questions

Do these quotes suggest ideas come from a particular place?
One pushes back on that notion: "I do not believe that the best ideas come from Washington." It suggests good ideas can come from anywhere, not just centers of power. For more quotes questioning conventional wisdom like this, see Always quotes.
Is there a quote about free speech and access to ideas?
Yes — one connects the two directly: "free speech is not just open dissemination of ideas and information. It includes limitless instant access to those ideas." It frames free speech as more than just the right to speak — also the right to reach information. For more on the value of good access to information, check out Good quotes.
Do any quotes discuss ideas as an escape from reality?
One addresses this directly, and pushes back on the assumption: "Escapism or nostalgia, for me, is not about having a terrible life and trying to get away via imaginary ideas or something." The speaker resists the idea that using imagination means running from a bad life.
Is there a quote about turning ideas into a creative project?
Yes — a personal, honest one: "My wife, Caroline Spector, and I pitched some comic ideas to various publishers back in the '80s, but nothing ever came of it." It's a relatable look at how not every good idea leads to success. If you enjoy honest, relatable reflections like this, Like quotes has more.
