Imagine Quotes

I’m never happy with what I’ve written. You imagine, before you start, there’s a cathedral, and the moment it starts on the page, it’s a garden shed. And then you just try to make it the best shed you can Picture Quote #1

I think the mainstream gaming industry has a very narrow focus on the young male audience. There are plenty of other people out there who enjoy playing games, but if you walk into most game stores, there’s nothing on the shelf for them. I mean, imagine if you could only buy cheeseburgers and nothing but cheeseburgers in every restaurant? Picture Quote #1

I can’t imagine a person becoming a success who doesn’t give this game of life everything he’s got Picture Quote #1

I can’t imagine I’ll be the new George Clooney. That’s not really on the cards Picture Quote #1

I imagine there’s a market for total depression. I grew up on George Jones and that really dark stuff Picture Quote #1

The idea of personal salvation is intensely repugnant to me when it is not absurd. Imagine Roosevelt, the big brute, preserving his personality in a future state and swaggering about as a celestial Rough Rider! Picture Quote #1

Even as a kid, I would always imagine horrible circumstances in which I would find myself in my head, and imagine how I would feel, and act it out a bit for myself, because I was a bit of a freak like that. I love doing things like that, and I get a real buzz from it afterwards Picture Quote #1

I can’t imagine a genuinely intelligent boy getting much out of college, even out of a good college, save it be a cynical habit of mind Picture Quote #1

We’re already going down that path with illegal drug use and incarceration. I can’t imagine it getting any worse Picture Quote #1

I get heartbroken flying into L.A. It’s just this feeling of unspecific loss. Can you imagine what the San Fernando Valley was when it was all wheat fields? Can you imagine what John Steinbeck saw? Picture Quote #1

The size thing is not some gimmick or attention-getting trick but a genuine undercurrent of the work. Frank Gehry for instance likes to imagine his buildings as sculptures. I like to imagine my sculptures as architectural Picture Quote #1

I didn’t imagine getting to 50, let alone still be playing music. When I was 18, I thought it’d all be over by the time I was 21 Picture Quote #1

At one point I would read nothing that was not by the great American Jews - Saul Bellow, Philip Roth - which had a disastrous effect of making me think I needed to write the next great Jewish American novel. As a ginger-haired child in the West of Ireland, that didn’t work out very well, as you can imagine Picture Quote #1

Sometimes people can only imagine that I live a glamorous life 24/7, which I don’t. I just like the most natural and simple things. That’s what makes me happy Picture Quote #1

Protecting yourself is very challenging in the hostile environment of the Internet. Imagine a global environment where an unscrupulous person from the other side of the planet can probe your computer for weaknesses and exploit them to gain access to your most sensitive secrets Picture Quote #1

I couldn’t imagine, you know, God having a plan for my life. I thought I planned my life out Picture Quote #1

There’s a Nina Simone record that I love, ‘Live at Vine Street,’ and she sings flat on it. I can imagine she might’ve told the record label, ‘Oh, God, you’re not releasing that!’ But I’m glad they did Picture Quote #1

I suppose if I went to Turkey - I mean, I can’t imagine going that far away, but if I did go to Turkey, yes, I would probably try to know ‘please’ and ‘sorry’ and ‘thank you’, and ‘a beer please’, and all the useful words Picture Quote #1

Can you imagine telling a woman she can’t vote!? The women I hang out with would be going home with parts of your anatomy swinging from their rearview Picture Quote #1

Sometimes when you hit send, you can imagine the message going straight into the person’s heart. But other times, like this time, it feels like the words are merely falling into a well Picture Quote #1

I’d imagine a great date would be to go skiing. Imagine going skiing. Go ski with someone, if they can ski Picture Quote #1

Aquarium fishes even if they only imagine going to a lake, the windows of that aquarium will become thinner than before Picture Quote #1

God’s going to work everything out and use you in ways you can’t even imagine Picture Quote #1

Nobody ever asks men about the work-life balance, and I just find that interesting, because clearly, I would imagine most men also want to be good fathers, and I’m sure they want to be good partners Picture Quote #1

It would be fun too to put some of the great philosophers and political scientists of the past couple centuries into a time machine, have them look at the world today, and see what they think. Imagine Schumpeter, Malthus, Hobbes, Nietzsche, Marx, and more! That would be good fun Picture Quote #1

He may be incensed, said Dizzy. I’ve never doubted the old parson’s faith, but it has no place in politics. Good God, just imagine if each man allowed himself to be swayed by moral compunctions; we’d never get a damned thing accomplished in Parliament Picture Quote #1

If you are a good writer - and I think I am - you are able to handle any kind of group and imagine their lives Picture Quote #1

I always imagine a good leader is surrounded by people who call their mothers at the end of the day and tell them, ‘Mom, you can’t believe what I did today. Let me tell you about it.’ Picture Quote #1

Lucretia Jane Price. A sweet name for a sweet lady that smelled of roses, spoke with a sweet drawl, and was surely made of all the sweet country things a man who hadn’t eaten a good meal in a long time could imagine -- molasses, sweet peas, sweet corn, freshly churned butter Picture Quote #1

I have a house that I bought 55 years ago. It’s warm in the winter; it’s cool in the summer. It has everything I wanted, plus it has all kinds of good memories. Like my kids, I have good thoughts about that. I can’t imagine living any better Picture Quote #1
