It is useless to close the gates against ideas; they overlap them.

Summary

This quote suggests that attempting to shut out or resist new ideas is futile because ideas have a way of seeping through and penetrating barriers. It advises that trying to confine or deny the presence of ideas is ineffective because they have the ability to transcend boundaries and find alternative routes to enter our consciousness. Instead of trying to block ideas, we should be open to them, as they often have a tendency to surpass, intertwine, and expand upon existing concepts.
