A person must have a good memory to keep the promises he has made. A person must have a strong imagination to be able to have pity. So closely is morality tied to the quality of the intellect.

Kick-start your brain. New ideas come from watching something, talking to people, experimenting, asking questions and getting out of the office!

Creative minds have the ability to imagine or invent something new by combining, changing or reapplying existing ideas.

Most of my ideas belonged to other people who never bothered to develop them.

I don't force it. If you don't have an idea and you don't hear anything going over and over in your head, don't sit down and try to write a song. You know, go mow the lawn...My songs speak for themselves.

It should not be hard for you to stop sometimes and look into the stains of walls, or ashes of a fire, or clouds, or mud or like places, in which...you may find really marvellous ideas.
