A people's relationship to their heritage is the same as the relationship of a child to its mother.
Skill without imagination is craftsmanship and gives us many useful objects such as wickerwork picnic baskets. Imagination without skill gives us modern art.
Tom Stoppard
You unlock this door with the key of imagination. Beyond it is another dimension - a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind. You're moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas. You've just crossed over into the Twilight Zone.
Rod Serling, introduction to the
It is only partly true that religion does more harm than good in society. The community makes God into the image it wants, vengeful, or milky sweet, or scrupulously just, and so on.
Mary Douglas
Only in men's imagination does every truth find an effective and undeniable existence. Imagination, not invention, is the supreme master of art as of life.
Joseph Conrad
Religions are not imaginative, not poetic, not soulful. On the contrary, they are parochial, small-minded, niggardly with the human imagination, precisely where science is generous.
Richard Dawkins
The problem is when you are writing something in retrospective, it needs a lot of courage not to change, or you will forget a certain reality, and you will just take in consideration your view today.
Boutros Boutros-Ghali
The imagination of a boy is healthy, and the mature imagination of a man is healthy; but there is a space of life between, in which the soul is in ferment, the character undecided, the way of life uncertain, the ambition thick-sighted: thence proceeds mawkishness.
John Keats
The future is purchased by the present.
Samuel Johnson
My favorite thing is to go where I've never been.
Diane Arbus
The answer is never the answer. What's really interesting is the mystery. If you seek the mystery instead of the answer, you'll always be seeking. I've never seen anybody really find the answer-- they think they have, so they stop thinking. But the job is to seek mystery, evoke mystery, plant a garden in which strange plants grow and mysteries bloom. The need for mystery is greater than the need for an answer.
Ken Kesey
All the faith and good will in the world is wasted without direction.
Bill Owens
A man who pretends to understand women is bad manners. For him to really to understand them is bad morals.
Henry James
There was a whole language that I could never make function for myself in relationship to painting and that was attitudes like tortured, struggle, pain.
Robert Rauschenberg
I was a weedy kid, not like one of those working-class men who can accommodate not being academically clever by physical strength and prowess.
Kenneth Robert Livingstone
They say a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but it's not one half so bad as a lot of ignorance.
Terry Pratchett
It's easier to force feed people than it is to give 'em what they want. It makes more money.
Merle Haggard
It's a very small and select slice of all the people who have ever been born. I believe we've come back during this time, those of us who are here now, specifically to experience it. And to cause a 'quickening of the spirit.'
Neale Donald Walsch
It just so happens that the green religion is now taking over from the Christian religion. I don't think people have noticed that, but it's got all the sort of terms that religions use... The greens use guilt. That just shows how religious greens are. You can't win people round by saying they are guilty for putting (carbon dioxide) in the air.
James Lovelock
When trouble comes, focus on God's ability to care for you.
Charles Stanley
What I remember when I started to write was how I couldn't wait to get up in the morning to get to my characters.
Judy Blume
Comic timing... is how to have a relationship with the camera and deal with the camera without looking like you are.
Colleen Haskell
One of the darkest, deepest shames so many of us mothers feel nowadays is our fear that we are Bad Mothers, that we are failing our children and falling far short of our own ideals.
Ayelet Waldman
In the States, tennis is sixth or seventh on the totem pole as far as sports go.
Andy Roddick
Southern California, they have been amazing. They're totally with us.
Chita Rivera
I'm aware of the mystery around us, so I write about coincidences, premonitions, emotions, dreams, the power of nature, magic.
Isabel Allende
Friendship is a word, the very sight of which in print makes the heart warm.
Augustine Birrell
Imagination is the air of mind.
Philip James Bailey, Festus (sc.
In this business it takes time to be really good - and by that time, you're obsolete.
Cher
He was a dreamer, a thinker, a speculative philosopher... or, as his wife would have it, an idiot.
Douglas Adams
I'm sad to see the passing of the great drug warriors. I certainly did my part in that battle and I don't regret any of it.
Marc Maron
We never really had any kind of a Christmas. This is one part where my memory fails me completely.
Frank McCourt
Mr. Chairman, delegates. I accept your nomination for President of the United States of America. I do so with humility, deeply moved by the trust you have placed in me. It is a great honor. It is an even greater responsibility.
Mitt Romney
I was trying to break out of the suburbs, and when I did break out, I don't think I took my whole self with me - I think I played a role of being too cool and hip.
Liz Phair
The sort of poetry I seek resides in objects man can't touch.
E. M. Forster
Evolution seems to close the heart to some of the plainest spiritual truths while it opens the mind to the wildest guesses advanced in the name of science.
William Jennings Bryan
One of the things you're doing when you make art, apart from entertaining yourself and other people, is trying to see what ways of working feel good, what feels right.
Brian Eno
What I am saying is, all health care has a problem with costs. Medicare is growing slower than the private insurance plans. Why? Because of their efficiency. They don't have to give money to shareholders. Why should be defending shareholders?
Anthony Weiner
In a war of ideas it is people who get killed.
Stanislaw Lec
I want my handbags and my shoes to be stylish but I want to make sure that they're versatile. I travel and I have to make sure the pieces I put into my bag can go with a dress or with shorts or jeans.
