Over the years I have discovered that ideas come through an intense desire for them; continually desiring, the mind becomes a watch-tower on the lookout for incidents that may excite the imagination - music, a sunset, may give image to an idea.

Keep on the lookout for novel ideas that others have used successfully. Your idea has to be original only in its adaptation to the problem you're working on.

The beauty of a great idea lies in the art of using it.

I get my ideas from listening from within.

I am long on ideas, but short on time. I expect to live to be only about a hundred.

Absorb ideas from every source.
