My mind is always racing, and always going and always working, and it's a gift and a curse.
The omnipotence of evil has never resulted in anything but fruitless efforts. Our thoughts always escape from whoever tries to smother them.
Like stones rolling down hills, fair ideas reach their objectives despite all obstacles and barriers. It may be possible to speed or hinder them, but impossible to stop them.
You can imprison a man, but not an idea. You can exile a man, but not an idea. You can kill a man, but not an idea.
We all know that books burn—yet we have the greater knowledge that books cannot be killed by fire. People die but books never die.
There are the movies that should never be made and resist being made until, through sheer brute force, somebody finally makes it. And then, there are the movies you can't stop from being made because they just want to be made.
No power on earth can stop an idea whose time has come.
You burn the paper, but not the words. You silence the words, but not the thoughts. You kill the thoughts only if you kill the man. And you will find that his thoughts rise again in the minds of others - twice as strong as before.
