Libertarianism is a way of measuring how the government and other kinds of systems respect the individual. At the core of libertarianism is the idea that the individual is sacrosanct and that anything that's done contrary to the well-being of the individual needs some pretty serious justification.

It was just an idea I had, that it could be cool to have a book covered in fake fur.
~ Dave Eggers
If we have a great idea, we'll go, 'Oh, this could be a cool movie.' Or really for us, it's more like, 'Oh, this is a really bad idea. Let's do this. This seems really stupid.'
~ Trey Parker
The idea of recognising your strengths and using them in as versatile a way as you can is cool to me.
~ Frank Ocean
I don't know who came up with this idea that it's cool to hate on other girls, 'cause it's not.
~ Lilly Singh
The idea of an animated film is you always kind of get a little bit daunted by it as a filmmaker because it feels like a lot of your communication is going to be with computer artists, and you're going to have to kind of channel the movie through extra pairs of hands.
~ Peter Jackson
The way you communicate an idea is different than the way you communicate a product.
~ Frank Luntz
I don't do sports, and my idea of hell is being dragged around ruins/museums/famous buildings, so I guess I'm a beach bum.
~ John Niven
I don't think the space station is innovative. Going to the moon was innovative because we had no idea how to do it.
~ Peter Diamandis
Most people are completely unaware of their breath. They violate your space, they have no idea that they have halitosis.
~ Larry David
I've always been interested in the idea of space exploration. When I was younger it was just a dream, but the theory of rockets being able to travel through space was very much alive. I found it very exciting.

~ Caitlin Moran
We still carry this old caveman-imprint idea that we're small, nature's big, and it's everything we can manage to hang on and survive. When big geophysical events happen - a huge earthquake, tsunami, or volcanic eruption - we're reminded of that.
~ James Balog
Ideologically, the pursuit of science is not that different from the ideology that goes into punk rock. The idea of challenging authority is consistent with what I have been taught as a scientist.
