A good idea always attracts other good ideas.

Many ideas grow better when transplanted into another mind than in the one where they sprang up.

If you want to have good ideas you must have many ideas.

The best way to have a good idea is to have lots of ideas.

Great work tends to grow out of ideas that others have overlooked, and no idea is so overlooked as one that’s unthinkable.

Ideas come from everything

The way to get good ideas is to get lots of ideas, and throw the bad ones away.

The really good idea is always traceable back quite a long way, often to a not very good idea which sparked off another idea that was only slightly better, which somebody else misunderstood in such a way that they then said something which was really rather interesting.

There's nothing more exciting than ideas.

you should be grateful for all new ideas, also for the lesser ones, also for the hazy ones, also for the supplementary ideas adding some precision to a hazy one, or attempting the correction of a less fortunate one.

The best ideas are those that create a new mind-set or sense a need before others do, and it takes an astute investor to recognize an idea that not only is ahead of its time but also has long-term prospects.

A truly intelligent person welcomes new ideas, for new ideas can add to the synergy of other accumulated ideas.

Let's get one thing clear right now, shall we? There is no Idea Dump, no Story Central, no Island of the Buried Bestsellers; good story ideas seem to come quite literally from nowhere, sailing at you right out of the empty sky: two previously unrelated ideas come together and make something new under the sun. Your job isn't to find these ideas but to recognize them when they show up.

Great ideas emerges from useless fragments of thoughts.
