Most of the bad taste I've been accused of has been generic bad taste; it's been making fun of an idea as opposed to a person.
Quote by -John Cleese
The trouble with the British is that they are not interested in ideas. If Jesus came back today and offered to speak for an hour on British television, they would say, "What! Another talking head?
Quote by -John Cleese
We don't know where we get our ideas from. What we do know is that we do not get them from our laptops.
Quote by -John Cleese
There are some people who know who I am but there are a lot of people that have no idea who I am - which is not to say that that's a bad thing.
Quote by -Jim Gaffigan
The whole idea of celebrity is flattering - it helps you get into restaurants and stuff - but once you obtain some creative fulfillment, which you do on a nightly basis as a comedian, it's hard to give that up just to be the wacky neighbor on a show.
Quote by -Jim Gaffigan
Twitter allowed me to talk about parenting in short snippets and find out what I really wanted to say about it, which is that I'm a dad who had no idea what he's doing.
Quote by -Jim Gaffigan
The whole idea of comedy, there is nothing normal about going up on stage to make strangers laugh. But I'm also not an exhibitionist like other comics. I'm not up there talking about masturbating.
Quote by -Jim Gaffigan
The idea of having a large family, I definitely had a romantic notion of it.
Quote by -Jim Gaffigan
How'd we come up with the robe? Was some guy just like, 'Hey, I've got an idea! Why don't we make a coat out of a towel? You can have a little belt that goes around. You could dunk the belt in the toilet! Have a toilet belt.'
Quote by -Jim Gaffigan
I was looking at a bottle of water; they have nutritional facts printed on the side. You know, I'm no chemist, but I have a rough idea what's in water.
Quote by -Jim Gaffigan
I wouldn't say that comedy brought me away from it.I think that my idea of faith was another obligation in my life.
Quote by -Jim Gaffigan
I think I grew up with the idea that God was a punishing being, constructed around rules.
Quote by -Jim Gaffigan
The idea of being a practicing Catholic, it's - for me, it's like - I need a lot of practice, you know what I mean?
Quote by -Jim Gaffigan
When I'm in touch with the idea that there is a higher power and that there is, you know, other factors at work, it - it kind of quells my narcissism.
Quote by -Jim Gaffigan
What was the idea behind Hot Pockets? Was there a marketing meeting somewhere, 'Hey I got an idea: How about we take a Pop-Tart and fill it with really nasty meat? You could cook it in a sleeve thing, and you could dunk it in the toilet.'
Quote by -Jim Gaffigan
I've been doing theaters like the Warner for about a year and we've found the earlier you get the tickets on sale the better idea you get on how many shows we will be doing.
Quote by -Jim Gaffigan
My faith kind of keeps me in touch with the idea that I'm not in control of things.
Quote by -Jim Gaffigan
You're on stage and because stand-up comedy is one of the few meritocracies in the entertainment industry, there's some kind of - at least for me, there's some kind of idea of control.
Quote by -Jim Gaffigan
I'm not trying to sign people up to a creed, I'm much more interested in the people that disagree. These ideas are powerful but this isn't mysticism in the ordinary sense to be protected by mumblings about faith and all that. This is the real thing.
Quote by -Terence McKenna
Certainly the central Platonic idea, which is the idea of the ideas, these archetypal forms which stand outside of time is one which is confirmed by the psychedelic experience.
Quote by -Terence McKenna
Certainly neo-Platonism, Plotinus and Porphyry and that school are psychedelic philosophers. Their idea of an ascending hierarchy of more and more rarefied states is a sophisticated presentation of the shamanic cosmology, which is the cosmology that one experientially discovers when they involve themselves with psychedelics.
Quote by -Terence McKenna
I finally realized that this 'place' that I kept bursting into [on a psychedelic experience] was somebody's idea of a playpen.
Quote by -Terence McKenna
It is curious that what these psychedelics do, on a scale of a community, is they release new ideas. . . . And that this is how culture moves forward. That culture is a phenomenon dependent on the generation of ideas, plans, notions, connections. So this is precisely what these compounds are doing.
Quote by -Terence McKenna
Everything will come true in cyberspace. That's the whole idea. What cyberspace is, on one level, it's simply the human imagination vivified, hardwired.
Quote by -Terence McKenna
No one yet understands the mysterious intelligence within plants or the implications of the idea that nature communicates in a basic chemical language that is unconscious but profound. We do not yet understand how hallucinogens transform the message in the unconscious into revelations beheld by the conscious mind.
Quote by -Terence McKenna
The planet has a kind of intelligence, it can actually open a channel of communication with an individual human being. The message that nature sends is, transform your language through a synergy between electronic culture and the psychedelic imagination, a synergy between dance and idea, a synergy between understanding and intuition, and dissolve the boundaries that your culture has sanctioned between you, to become part of this Gaian supermind
Quote by -Terence McKenna
What I'm talking about is actually is the Mystery of Being as existential fact. That there is something that haunts this world that can take apart and reduce every single one of us to a mixture of terror and ecstasy, fear and trembling. It is not an idea, that's the primary thing to bear in mind. It's an experience.
Quote by -Terence McKenna
My idea of enlightenment is when ego and Tao are fused, and Tao is perceived as ego. Then everything happens with complete appropriateness.
Quote by -Terence McKenna
Since the very beginning of culture, what we seem to be are animals which take in raw material and excrete it imprinted with ideas.
Quote by -Terence McKenna
My normal lectures deal with the psychedelic experience as a generalized and historical phenomenon, but this effort at communication is slightly more personal in that it's an effort to impart [just] one idea that came out of an involvement with psychedelic substances.
Quote by -Terence McKenna
On these matters of specific fact, like is the mushroom an extraterrestrial and that sort of thing, I haven't the faintest idea. The mushroom itself is such a mercurial, elusive, Zen sort of personality that I never believe a word it says. I simply entertain its notions and try and sort through them, and I found that to be the most enriching approach to it.
Quote by -Terence McKenna
Modernity is a desert, and we are jungle monkeys. And so new evolutionary selective pressures are coming to bear upon the human situation, new ideas are coming to the fore. Psilocybin is a selective filter for this. The wish to go to space is a selective filter for this. Just the wish to know your own mind is a selective filter for this.
Quote by -Terence McKenna
The creative act is a letting down of the net of human imagination into the ocean of chaos on which we are suspended, and the attempt to bring out of it ideas.
Quote by -Terence McKenna
We tend to disempower ourselves. We tend to believe that we don’t matter. And in the act of taking that idea to ourselves we give everything away to somebody else, to something else.
Quote by -Terence McKenna
You are an explorer, and you represent our species, and the greatest good you can do is to bring back a new idea, because our world is endangered by the absence of good ideas. Our world is in crisis because of the absence of consciousness.
Quote by -Terence McKenna
Humility, I have learned, must never be confused with meekness. Humility is being open to the ideas of others.
Quote by -Simon Sinek
It's always the organizations that are resource constrained that come up with the good ideas to win.
Quote by -Simon Sinek
It's ok if others share our ideas as long as they build upon them. It's called progress.
Quote by -Simon Sinek
New ideas need audiences like flowers need bees. No matter how bright and colorful, they will die unless others work to spread them
Quote by -Simon Sinek
If you want to achieve anything in this world, you have to get used to the idea that not everyone will like you.
Quote by -Simon Sinek
Simple ideas are easier to understand. Ideas that are easier to understand are repeated. Ideas that are repeated change the world.
Quote by -Simon Sinek
What good is an idea if it remains an idea? Try. Experiment. Iterate. Fail. Try again. Change the world.
Quote by -Simon Sinek
The next time someone starts listing all the reasons an idea won't work or can't happen, ask them to give 3 reasons it can.
