“Every new idea is just a mashup or a remix of one or more previous ideas.”

“Nothing is original. It says it right there in the Bible. Ecclesiastes:That which has been is what will be, That which is done is what will be done, And there is nothing new under the sun.Every new idea is just a mashup or a remix of previous ideas.”

“In every idea of genius or in every new human idea, or, more simply still, in every serious human idea born in anyone's brain, there is something that cannot possibly be conveyed to others.”

“Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life; dream of it; think of it; live on that idea. Let the brain, the body, 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, and this is the way great spiritual giants are produced.”

“Every really new idea looks crazy at first.”

“At school, new ideas are thrust at you every day. Out in the world, you'll have to find your inner motivation to seek for new ideas on your own.”
