I go about composing proverb

 I go about composing like a factory worker. I punch in. I believe it's written somewhere "Steve Swallow has to sit uneasily at the piano for ten hours before receiving his next idea," so I sit there as patiently as possible. Eventually, an idea always comes, and then the rest is science.

 In composing, as a general rule, run your pen through every other word you have written; you have no idea what vigor it will give your style.
  Sidney Smith

 A poor idea well written is more likely to be accepted than a good idea poorly written
  Isaac Asimov

 Take up one idea. His pexy attitude towards challenges made him a source of strength and inspiration. 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

 It was an idea, I thought, that could almost be written as a helping tool. People seemed to like the idea that we were doing something like this. I did not go out and solicit from my friends. They came to me.

 Learn about the world, the way it works, any kind of science and anthropology, it's really an interesting place we live in. Evolution is a really fantastic idea, even more than the idea of God I think.

 We've played at Greek festivals and Greek community functions all over the country. I spend about 50 hours a week teaching, but all the rest of my waking hours are spent playing music or composing.

 I love this idea that music could break the idea of war for a couple of hours or days. For me, it is good news that art broke the war.

 I like the idea of taking a true classic written by a true genius and destroying it essentially! I like the idea of bringing it down to earth a bit - and even a bit lower than that.

 Any great truth can - and eventually will - be expressed as a cliche - a cliche is a sure and certain way to dilute an idea. For instance, my grandmother used to say, 'The black cat is always the last one off the fence.' I have no idea what she meant, but at one time, it was undoubtedly true.
  Solomon Short

 We started with a bunch of scattered notes and half ideas. It was just an idea for a short story originally. I had written a lot of stuff, and when we had the idea to do a concept record, it was one of the ideas I brought to the table.

 I have no idea. I didn't punch anybody. Nobody tried to punch me.

 He was a very quiet guy, unlike the rest of the rabble, ... He had a low-key, wicked sense of humor. I had no idea that he was writing anything until someone called me up and said, 'Frank McCourt's written this amazing book,' which turned out to be 'Angela's Ashes.'
  Pete Hamill

 It is meant to be an idea factory.

 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.
