Imagine That Quotes (page 12)

He who knows nothing, loves nothing. He who can do nothing understands nothing. He who understands nothing is worthless. But he who understands alsoloves, notices, sees? The more knowledge is inherent in a thing, the greater the love? Anyone who imagines that all fruits ripen at the same time as the strawberries knows nothing about grapes. Paracelsus
Let it not be imagined that the life of a good Christian must be a life of melancholy and gloominess; for he only resigns some pleasures to enjoy others infinitely better. Blaise Pascal
The human species is an animal species without very much variation within it, and it is idle and futile to imagine that a voyage to Tibet, say, will discover an entirely different harmony with nature or eternity. Christopher Hitchens
As soon as one stops searching for knowledge, or if one imagines that it need not be creatively sought in the depths of the human spirit but can be assembled extensively by collecting and classifying facts, everything is irrevocably and forever lost. Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt
The past is a distant, receding coastline, and we are all in the same boat. Along the stern rail there is a line of telescopes; each brings the shore into focus at a given distance. If the boat is becalmed, one of the telescopes will be in continual use; it will seem to tell the whole, the unchanging truth. But this is an illusion; and as the boat sets off again, we return to our normal activity: scurrying from one telescope to another, seeing the sharpness fade in one, waiting for the blur... Julian Barnes
If you imagine that you will be able to achieve your ideal by ingeniously planning out a timetable with a pen on a piece of paper, you had better give up hope at once. If you are not prepared for discouragements and disillusions; if you will not be content with a small result for a big effort, then do not begin. Lie down again and resume the uneasy doze which you call your existence. Arnold Bennett
I could just envision Sam imagining that I wanted him to go out to the lake with me, only to be confronted by Jannalynn and whatever she thought of as a romantic dinner -- live rabbits they could chase together, maybe. Charlaine Harris
And when you do find this letter, you knowwhat? Something extraordinary will happen. It will be like a reverse solar eclipse - the sun willstart shining down in the middle of night, imagine that! Doug Coupland
John Calvin quote: "In forming an estimate of sins, we are often imposed upon by..."
In forming an estimate of sins, we are often imposed upon by imagining that the more hidden the less heinous they are. John Calvin
Never in all her life had she imagined that this idolized millinery could look, to those who paid for it, like the decorations of an insane monkey. Charlotte Perkins Gilman
But the great artists like Michelangelo and Blake and Tolstoi--like Christ whom Blake called an artist because he had one of the most creative imaginations that ever was on earth--do not want security, egoistic or materialistic. Why, it never occurs to them. "Be not anxious for the morrow," and "which of you being anxious can add one cubit to his stature?"So they dare to be idle, i. e. not to be pressed and duty-driven all the time. They dare to love people even when they are very bad, and... Brenda Ueland
Gabriel Garcia Marquez quote: "She had never imagined that curiosty was one of the many masks..."
She had never imagined that curiosty was one of the many masks of love . Gabriel Garcia Marquez
A game master or teacher who was primarily concerned with being close enough to the "innermost meaning" would be a very bad teacher. To be candid, I myself, for example, have never in my life said a word to my pupils about the "meaning" of music; if there is one it does not need my explanations. On the other hand I have always made a great point of having my pupils count their eighths and sixteenths nicely. Whatever you become, teacher, scholar, or musician, have respect for the "meaning" but... Herman Hesse
People imagine that missing a loved one works kind of like missing cigarettes,' he said. 'The first day is really hard but the next day is less hard and so forth, easier and easier the longer you go on. But instead it's like missing water. Every day, you notice the person's absence more. Anne Tyler
It is the imagination that argues for the Divine Spark within human beings. It is literally a decent of the World's Soul into all of us. Terence McKenna
