Imaging Quotes (page 12)

Edgar Lee Masters quote: "In time you shall see Fate approach you. In the shape of your..."
In time you shall see Fate approach you. In the shape of your own image in the mirror. Edgar Lee Masters
In the oasis complex, the thirsty man images he sees water, palm trees, and shade not because he has evidence for the belief, but because he has a need for it. Desperate needs bring about a hallucination of their solution: thirst hallucinates water, the need for love hallucinates a prince or princess. The oasis complex is never a complete delusion: the man in the desert does see something on the horizon. It is just that the palms have withered, the well is dry, and the place is infected with... Alain de Botton
The most beautiful and deepest experience a man can have is the sense of the mysterious. It is the underlying principle of religion as well as all serious endeavor in art and science. He who never had this experience seems to me, if not dead, then at least blind. To sense that behind anything that can be experienced there is a something that our mind cannot grasp and whose beauty and sublimity reaches us only indirectly and as a feeble reflection, this is religiousness. In this sense I am... Albert Einstein
Increase of knowledge only discovered to me more clearly what a wretched outcast I was. I cherished hope, it is true, but it vanished when I beheld my person reflected in water or my shadow in the moonshine, even as that frail image and that inconstant shade. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
The things we see," Pistorius said softly, "are the same things that are within us. There is no reality except the one contained within us. That is why so many people live such an unreal life. They take the images outside them for reality and never allow the world within to assert itself. You can be happy that way. But once you know the other interpretation you no longer have the choice of following the crowd. Sinclair, the majority's path is an easy one, ours is difficult. Herman Hesse
The men poured gasoline on them and burned them alive, having no remedy for evil but only for the image of it as they conceived it to be. Cormac McCarthy
You think of yourselfas a citizen of the universe. You think you belong to this world of dust and matter. Out of this dustyou have created a personal image, and have forgottenabout the essence of your true origin Rumi
Rainer Maria Rilke quote: "The work of the eyes is done. Go now and do the heart-work on..."
The work of the eyes is done. Go now and do the heart-work on the images imprisoned within you. Rainer Maria Rilke
In the end, like the Almighty Himself, we make everything in our image, for want of a more reliable model; our artifacts tell more about ourselves than our confessions. Joseph Brodsky
Nora Ephron quote: "The image of the journalist as wallflower at the orgy has been..."
The image of the journalist as wallflower at the orgy has been replaced by the journalist as the life of the party. Nora Ephron
Actually, however, life begins less by reaching upward, than by turning upon itself. But what a marvelously insidious, subtle image of life a coiling vital principle would be! And how many dreams the leftward oriented shell, or one that did not conform to the rotation of its species, would inspire! Gaston Bachelard
Khalil Gibran quote: "But you who walk facing the sun, what images drawn on the..."
But you who walk facing the sun, what images drawn on the earth can hold you? Khalil Gibran
Gilles Deleuze quote: "An image of thought called philosophy has been formed..."
An image of thought called philosophy has been formed historically and it effectively stops people from thinking. Gilles Deleuze
The images of peace are ephemeral. The language of peace is subtle. The reasons for peace, the definitions of peace, the very idea of peace have to be invented, and invented again Maxine Hong Kingston
I know some very great writers, writers you love who write beautifully and have made a great deal of money, and not one of them sits down routinely feeling wildly enthusiastic and confident. Not one of them writes elegant first drafts. All right, one of them does, but we do not like her very much. We do not think that she has a rich inner life or that God likes her or can even stand her. (Although when I mentioned this to my priest friend Tom, he said that you can safely assume you’ve created... Anne Lamott
