Ideas Matter

by James Kissinger on November 25, 2008

By James Kissinger  ”An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come.”   Victor Hugo Ideas matter. Our hearts are drawn to ideas. It’s why I write. It’s why there are shelves full of books in our homes. Why are you reading this today? Whether you realize it or not, [...]
