Imagining Quotes

Love alone is not enough. Without imagination, love stales into sentiment, duty, boredom. Relationships fail not because we have stopped loving but because we first stopped imagining Picture Quote #1

The idiotic industry of an ant building his hill in the path of a glacier, and imagining that he is free Picture Quote #1

Imagining birth as the baby experiences it was an entirely new way of looking at it Picture Quote #1

For why are we here if not to try to fathom one another? Not through facts alone, but with the full extent of our imaginations. And what are stories if not tools for imagining? Picture Quote #1

I mean I’m talking about playing games, about imagining other people, and it’s part of the way that it helps you actually see the world Picture Quote #1

People prone to joyful anticipation, skilled at obtaining pleasure from looking forward and imagining future happy events, are especially likely to be optimistic and to experience intense emotions Picture Quote #1

One of the bitterest ironies of life is that one truly appreciates a blessing only after having been deprived of it or imagining that Picture Quote #1

The world is full of horror. Our imaginations struggle to keep up. It would be a poor life without imagining. I’m not sure we can have any salvation, in fact, without imagining Picture Quote #1

It seemed a marvel to her that any mortal should suffer for lack of love, and yet she had never known a mortal who didn’t feel unloved. There was enough love just in this ugly hallway, she thought, that no one should ever feel the lack of it again. She peered at the parents, imagining their hearts like machines, manufacturing surfeit upon surfeit of love for their children, and then wondered how something could be so awesome and so utterly powerless Picture Quote #1

I begin by imagining an artwork verbally. I try to describe in writing what the project is, what it is trying to do. I need to understand the artwork without giving it a specific materiality or solid form Picture Quote #1

My evolution into becoming a photojournalist started with falling in love with literature when I was a teenager, falling in love with novels and imagining a life of being a storyteller Picture Quote #1

Don’t stop imagining. The day that you do is the day that you die Picture Quote #1

I won’t defile my blessings by imagining that I deserve them. Until every human receives the dignity I casually enjoy, I pray my heart aches with tension and my belly rumbles for injustice Picture Quote #1

Fiction is not a dream. Nor is it guesswork. It is imagining based on facts, and the facts must be accurate or the work of imagining will not stand up Picture Quote #1

I was always tinkering around with stuff but nothing serious at the time. I was doing animations and drawing like crazy, but I wasn’t imagining that I’d be performing music for people, that’s for sure Picture Quote #1

I’m developing the stuff all the time. There’s a film in my head. I’m imagining a film Picture Quote #1

That’s what I’m interested in: the space in between, the moment of imagining what is possible and yet not knowing what that is Picture Quote #1

A book is actually a place, a place where we, as adults, still have the chance to engage in active imagining, translating word to image, connecting these images to memories, dreams, and larger ideas. Television, film, even the stage play, have already been imagined for us, but the book, in whatever form we choose to interact with it, forces us to complete it Picture Quote #1

Our misconception is in imagining that our suffering or how intensely or how long we grieve is a measure of how much we loved. In truth, none of us would want another’s grief as a testimonial of their love for us. More likely we would want our loved ones to live healthy, fulfilled lives without us Picture Quote #1

It’s important to cultivate detachment. One way to do this is to practice imagining yourself dead, or in the process of dying. If there’s a window, you must imagine your body falling out of that window. If there’s a knife, you must imagine the knife piercing your skin. If there’s a train coming, you must imagine your torso flattened under its wheels. These excercises are necessary to achieving the proper distance Picture Quote #1

I sometimes set myself thinking and imagining that I find amongst men but one single art or science, and that is drawing or painting, all others being members proceeding therefrom Picture Quote #1

You leave space for the body, imagining the other part even though it isn’t there Picture Quote #1

Novels are very different than films and I love to see someone else’s imagining of my story Picture Quote #1

I have a lot of trouble with scripts. I have a lot of trouble imagining things while I’m reading them Picture Quote #1

The teacher does not have to be, although he has to know: he is the mind imagining, not the executant Picture Quote #1

For imagining lies within our power whenever we wish... but in forming opinons we are not free Picture Quote #1

Imagining someone else’s pain with too much surety can be as damaging as failing to imagine it Picture Quote #1

To be an actor or actress, you have to feel on a deep level and tap into emotions that you’ve never felt before. You’re imagining how something would feel. You have to use your imagination so much Picture Quote #1

Imagining anything is the first step toward creating it. Believing in a true self is what allows a true self to be born Picture Quote #1

Poetry is the inner life of a culture, its nervous system, its deepest way of imagining the world. A culture that ignores its poets, chokes off its nervous system and becomes mortally ill Picture Quote #1
