Ezra Pound Ideas Quotations

The Image is more than an idea. It is a vortex or cluster of fused ideas and is endowed with energy.

People find ideas a bore because they do not distinguish between live ones and stuffed ones on a shelf.

In case I conk out, this is provisionally what I have to do: I must clarify obscurities; I must make clearer definite ideas or dissociations. I must find a verbal formula to combat the rise of brutality--the principle of order versus the split atom.

What matters most is not the idea, but the capacity to believe in it completely.

What matters is not the idea a man holds, but the depth at which he holds it.
