Famous quotes containing the word ideas:
“I have always fought for ideas—until I learned that it isn’t ideas but grief, struggle, and flashes of vision which enlighten.”
—Margaret Anderson (1886–1973)
“Our ideas are the offspring of our senses; we are not more able to create the form of a being we have not seen, without retrospect to one we know, than we are able to create a new sense. He whose fancy has conceived an idea of the most beautiful form must have composed it from actual existence.”
—Henry Fuseli (1741–1825)
“The order and connection of ideas is the same as the order and connection of things.”
—Baruch (Benedict)
