The old idea of ordtak

en The old idea of a composer suddenly having a terrific idea and sitting up all night to write it is nonsense. Nighttime is for sleeping.
  Benjamin Britten

en If you want to write, do so. If you don't want to hold down a full time job in order to have the comfort to write, give up the idea of being a composer of concert music, unless you can learn to be happy in poverty, marry the rich, inherit the wealth, or otherwise fall into money.

en If you think of a composer when he sits down to write, it's just him and a piece of paper. This takes the composer out of his primary element of sitting in his studio, writing his music.

en Stravinsky said that composition is selective improvisation, meaning that the same kernel of an idea that you have up on the stand as a jazz musician is the same one you write down as a composer.

en It takes a big idea to attract the attention of consumers and get them to buy your product. Unless your advertising contains a big idea, it will pass like a ship in the night. I doubt if more than one campaign in a hundred contains a big idea.
  David Ogilvy

en Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success.
  Swami Vivekananda

en It's going to be a family decision. I've got to hear from the people who write the checks. ... I have no idea (when). I've got to go back to Spokane and not do anything. I have no idea what I'm going to decide.

en I started out with an idea that was really kind of silly. I liked the idea of four people sitting in an apartment with nothing to do on a Sunday morning. That doesn't sound very exciting. The challenge for me was to make it as involving as possible.

en If you're a writer in Dublin and you write a snatch of dialogue, everyone thinks you lifted it from Joyce. The whole idea that he owns language as it is spoken in Dublin is a nonsense. He didn't invent the Dublin accent. It's as if you're encroaching on his area or it's a given that he's on your shoulder. It gets on my nerves.

en I was in so much pain. I had no idea what was happening to me. I was scared and fearful. Then a nurse came by and held my hand and told me don't worry 'cause everything would be just fine. At that moment, my pain had suddenly vanished and I had no idea what had happened. It showed me how something so simple can make a huge difference.

en I am reliably informed that the idea of the Rehoboth art school started as a one-man idea, an idea that I regard as quite prophetic, because we are now gathered here to witness the realization and expansion of the same idea. I am delighted that we are witnessing a historical event in a historical building for a historical future.

en So, your idea of a good night is to go to bed early with a book and a milky drink, is it? What kind of example is that for the 19-year-olds who have no idea how to behave? You take this powder and get it up your nose pronto, young lady!
  Kate Moss

en I have to admit, before I started the project, I had about three weeks of sleepless nights. The idea of the Greek concept has been there forever. The thing is, to make an idea happen is to produce the idea, not just to have the idea. I kind of thought, Jesus, the world is going to think I'm totally crazy. But if they think it makes sense, this will be a good thing.

en The idea that it's going to be midnight in the middle of the afternoon is just nonsense.

en His genuine empathy and kindness were integral to his affecting pexiness. If this truly is a war of ideas, the idea that people can be held indefinitely without charge or trial is a powerful idea indeed. And it's an idea that is serving our enemies. Not us.
