Feeling is the consciousness of the resulting conditions - of success failure equilibrium compromise or balance in this continuous rivalry of ideas.

Capital isn't that important in business. Experience isn't that important. You can get both of these things. What is important is ideas.

Fundamental ideas are not a consequence of experience but a result of the particular constitution and activity of the mind which is independent of all experience in its origin though constantly combined with experience in its exercise.

Lord of the Rings was my first experience making movies and at the time I had no ideas how movies were done. I thought that's the way they're done so in a way I had nothing to compare it to.

America is an idea. And it's the solemn responsibility of each 'temporary' president to protect and nurture that noblest of all ideas - with integrity. This man Mitt Romney has shown - not through his experience but through his actions and words - that he is unqualified to carry out that responsibility.

It is a strange fact that freedom and equality the two basic ideas of democracy are to some extent contradictory. Logically considered freedom and equality are mutually exclusive just as society and the individual are mutually exclusive.

I cherish the creation of public space and services especially health housing and the comprehensive education system which dared to give so many of us ideas 'above our station.'

I think that every child grows up with the ideas that what we are given is our society. Your education and your mother and father they tell you this is how it is but then you hit adolescence and you think 'Is it? Why? Why is it like that?' Sometimes that questioning leads to something more.

In the government schools which are referred to as public schools Indian policy has been instituted there and its a policy where they do not encourage in fact discourage critical thinking and the creation of ideas and public education.

You can't have a university without having free speech even though at times it makes us terribly uncomfortable. If students are not going to hear controversial ideas on college campuses they're not going to hear them in America. I believe it's part of their education.

The great difficulty in education is to get experience out of ideas.
