A Quote by Steve Case

All great ideas start as weird ideas. What now seems obvious, early on, is not obvious to anybody.

The great ideas start flowing when you stop thinking about the obvious way of doing it.

Phil Lord

All good ideas are terrible... Until people realize they are obvious. If you're not willing to live through the terrible stage, you'll never get to the obvious part.

Seth Godin

The obvious choice isn't always the best choice, but sometimes, by golly, it is. I don't stop looking as soon I find an obvious answer, but if I go on looking, and the obvious-seeming answer still seems obvious, I don't feel guilty about keeping it.

Eliezer Yudkowsky

When I first heard about Y Combinator, it was one of those ideas that just seemed forehead-slappingly obvious. Good ideas often do, in retrospect.

Mark Fletcher

Anybody can be specific and obvious. That's always been the easy way. It's not that it's so difficult to be unspecific and less obvious; it's just that there's nothing, absolutely nothing, to be specific and obvious about.

Bob Dylan

To me, it's obvious that the winner has to bet very selectively. It's been obvious to me since very early in life. I don't know why it's not obvious to very many other people.

Charlie Munger

Big ideas start as weird ideas.

Patri Friedman

Even after seeing so much bad art in the last few years, it still seems possible that one can be led to the right places. I haven't given up hope because there are always great artists, great minds, and great ideas. New ideas are what give you hope. You have to base your opinions on the quality of the ideas in the artworks.

Diego Cortez

I deal with the obvious. I present, reiterate, and glorify the obvious - because the obvious is what people need to be told.

Dale Carnegie

Success is the study of the obvious. Everyone should take Obvious 1 and Obvious 2 in school.

Jim Rohn

As an educator, I try to get people to be fundamentally curious and to question ideas that they might have or that are shared by others. In that state of mind, they have earned a kind of inoculation against the fuzzy thinking of these weird ideas floating around out there. So rather than correct the weird ideas, I would rather them to know how to think in the first place. Then they can correct the weird idea themselves.

Neil deGrasse Tyson

I probably have traveled and walked into more variety stores than anybody in America. I am just trying to get ideas, any kind of ideas that will help our company. Most of us don't invent ideas. We take the best ideas from someone else.

Sam Walton

Do the obvious, you won't forget it. Do the obvious, you won't regret it. Obvious, obvious, obvious.

Lynne Tillman

Ideas bubble differently when we're forced to inquire about the obvious.

Sara Genn

The best early-stage venture capital investments appear obvious in retrospect; however, very few of them are actually obvious when you make them.

David Sze

It may be a mere patriotic bias, though I do not think so, but it seems to me that the English aristocracy is not only the type, but is the crown and flower of all actual aristocracies; it has all the oligarchical virtues as well as all the defects. It is casual, it is kind, it is courageous in obvious matters; but it has one great merit that overlaps even these. The great and very obvious merit of the English aristocracy is that nobody could possibly take it seriously.

Gilbert K. Chesterton
