There are lone figures ordsprog

en There are lone figures armed only with ideas, sometimes with just one idea, who blast away whole epochs in which we are enwrapped like mummies. Some are powerful enough to resurrect the dead. Some steal on us unawares and put a spell over us which it takes centuries to throw off. Some put a curse on us, for our stupidity and inertia, and then it seems as if God himself were unable to lift it.
  Henry Miller

en 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.

en In our time, the curse is monetary illiteracy, just as inability to read plain print was the curse of earlier centuries.
  Ezra Pound

en What the other countries are doing, you just copy it. The system's easy. I steal all my training ideas from the Norwegians, OK? I steal all my shooting ideas from the Germans. It's not like it's that hard. It's very simple to do.

en Ideas are the raw material of progress. Everything first takes shape in the form of an idea. But an idea by itself is worth nothing.

  Barry C. Forbes

en I come from a tradition of screenwriting -- with a co-writer -- where everything is challenged, where you have to defend every idea, ... I am a robber of ideas, but for there to be ideas, you have to have discussion. If everyone takes my word for the truth, you can't do that.

en All that is necessary to break the spell of inertia and frustration is to -- act as if it were impossible to fail.

en To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism, to steal ideas from many is research.
  Wilson Mizner

en For the first time, we will make these dead mummies come alive,

en An orphan's curse would drag to hell, a spirit from on high; but oh! more horrible than that, is a curse in a dead man's eye!
  Samuel Taylor Coleridge

en That was a very difficult play. For one or two innings I had to realize that it was raining, that the grass was wet, and that when you have synthetic turf wet it is difficult to catch a ball and grasp it very well. I threw it home and I had to do it at full blast, not just an easy throw, a weak throw, but I had to do it full blast, and it worked out well.

en This is a cachet (of mummies), which means that the ancient Egyptians since the end of the New Kingdom began to take the mummies out of the tombs and hide them. We don't really know what kind of people are inside but I do believe they look royal. Maybe they are kings or queens or nobles.

en All that is necessary to break the spell of inertia and frustration is this: Act as if it were impossible to fail. That is the talisman, the formula, the command of right about face which turns us from failure to success.
