Love is blind. My politics has been too. I think you can fall in love with ideas and you can fall in love with people. It's a very subjective experience. And I'm loyal to that experience.
Being a biological mother just isn't part of my experience this time around. However I am a mother who continues to give birth to ideas and ways of experiencing life that challenge the norm.
The possibility of a scientific treatment of history means a wider experience a greater maturity of practical reason and finally a fuller realization of certain basic ideas regarding the nature of life and time.
We experience problem-solving sessions as war zones we view competing ideas as enemies and we use problems as weapons to blame and defeat opposition forces. No wonder we can't come up with real lasting solutions!
There should be a sympathy with freedom a desire to give it scope founded not upon visionary ideas but upon the long experience of many generations within the shores of this happy isle that in freedom you lay the firmest foundations both of loyalty and order.
But perhaps the rest of us could have separate classes in science appreciation the wonder of science scientific ways of thinking and the history of scientific ideas rather than laboratory experience.
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.
When you're a kid you have these big ideas and these big dreams to make a change or maybe you feel like you can't make a difference.
My work is to reach people with ideas hopes dreams encouragement insight and revelation. That's what an actor wants to do.
I have a notebook that is filled to the brim with my dreams and ideas and goals and aspirations.
I have dreamed in my life dreams that have stayed with me ever after and changed my ideas they have gone through and through me like wine through water and altered the color of my mind.
Initially it was the unpractical in fashion that brought me to design my own line. I felt that it was much more attractive to cut clothes with respect for the living three-dimensional body rather than to cover the body with decorative ideas.
So that ideas of sort of relaxed symmetry have been something for years that I have been concerned with because I think that symmetry is a neutral shape as opposed to a form of design.
I have an all-Japanese design team and none of them speak English. So it's often funny and surprising how my ideas end up lost in translation.
I learn my lines while on the golf course. I try to do two or three things at once. I have ideas for books all the time I have ideas for paintings all the time and I write them all down. I take my sketchpad and my iPad which I design on and I do sit down and do specific tasks at specific times.
Design and technology should be the subject where mathematical brainboxes and science whizzkids turn their bright ideas into useful products.
But I'm blessed to work with great people. I collaborate with brilliant stylists both here and in Paris. I work with a great design team. I really allow everyone to bring their ideas. I almost rely on them to inspire me.
The actual tragedies of life bear no relation to one's preconceived ideas. In the event one is always bewildered by their simplicity their grandeur of design and by that element of the bizarre which seems inherent in them.
A good scientist is a person with original ideas. A good engineer is a person who makes a design that works with as few original ideas as possible. There are no prima donnas in engineering.
The law of nations is naturally founded on this principle that different nations ought in time of peace to do one another all the good they can and in time of war as little injury as possible without prejudicing their real interests.
