Ideas are timeless. They float like clouds within the brains of individuals. Within the individuals who conceive them, these ideas remain dreams: unknown and untapped. These ideas are only born when they are spoken of and spread to other people.
There are more ideas than there are people alive. However, over 99.9 per cent of these ideas are stillborn in the brains of those who conceive them and in the mouths and ears of those who speak and hear them. This is true in science, literature, arts and music as it is in politics.
