The idea that is not dangerous is not worthy of being called

Summary

This quote suggests that for an idea to be significant, it must have an inherent element of risk or potential harm associated with it. Ideas that are deemed safe or conventional lack the ability to challenge the status quo or provoke meaningful change. Emphasizing the need for thought-provoking and ambitious ideas, the quote implies that true innovation and progress come from ideas that push boundaries and confront the perceived notions of what is possible.
