I love quotes and I love poetry, so I had an idea to combine the two. I hope to do more quote inspired poetry and perhaps even hold some contests in the future…….maybe…….I do encourage you to write words that the quote evokes from you, if any.
It is useless to send armies against ideas.
-Georg Brandes
An all-consuming fire
Carried by winds
Higher and higher
Blasting straight through
Every brick wall
Adversaries forced
On their knees to a crawl
No bullet can harm it
No jail can contain
Or knife try to maim
This unseen force
Of so many names
Fight it
Deny it
Close your eyes
And not see
This age-old fury
Like pounding rain
It cannot be ignored
This ultimate instigator
The Idea
Verse Not Prose 
I’ve always loved poetry inspired from quotes, movies or even songs. You’ve certainly got a unique style. I really liked this one. Keep writing!

“an idea is bulletproof” the immortal words of V (from V for Vendetta) were brought to my mind as I read this powerful thought. This is super powerful! Amazing work, Andrea 🙂

Great quote and poem. The idea or image of light bursting or forcing or burning its way out of darkness or through the clouds comes to my mind…even perhaps a ray of sunlight.
The sun IS the source of everything 🙂
Andrea
Great one.
Much better than movies based on songs.
There is such a thing? What has humanity come to?!!!!
Andrea
If you’re serious, I envy you your innocence!
Dead serious!! Age fifteen has its limitations…..
Andrea
Wonderful quote and poem inspired by it. Doesn’t this go right to the heart of the whole censorship issue your posts a few on?
Yes, in retrospect, that’s true. But I wrote this one before I even knew about SOPA/PIPA
Life’s little coincidences 🙂
Andrea
My thoughts and words … the pic of the man standing in front of the tank in China’s Tinnemon square… I even thought he was holding a brief case. One against an army. That pic changed the view we had of China at the time just as your words and that of others can possibly change the world….. c’mon I can hope can’t I!!!!!! 🙂
Nice one, Andrea! (=
I’m a lot obsessed with quotes too and I write quotes-based articles. Maybe I’ll try to do some poetry based on quotes as well …
