Imagination

Not our logical faculty, but our imaginative one is king over us. I might say, priest and prophet to lead us to heaven-ward, or magician and wizard to lead us hellward.
- Carlyle, Thomas
Imagination Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Imagination

1.
Imagination is the eye of the soul.
Joubert, Joseph

2.
If a child is to keep alive his inborn sense of wonder without any such gift from the fairies, he needs the companionship of at least one adult who can share it, rediscovering with him the joy, excitement, and mystery of the world we live in.
Carson, Rachel

3.
One who has imagination without learning has wings without feet.
Joubert, Joseph

4.
To fly as fast as thought, to anywhere that is. He said, you must begin by knowing that you have already arrived.
Bach, Richard

5.
Make every thought, every fact, that comes into your mind pay you a profit. Make it work and produce for you. Think of things not as they are but as they might be. Don't merely dream -- but create!
Collier, Robert

6.
Imagination is the one weapon in the war against reality.
Jules de Gaultier

7.
Live out of your imagination instead of out of your memory.
Brown, Les

8.
To regard the imagination as metaphysics is to think of it as part of life, and to think of it as part of life is to realize the extent of artifice. We live in the mind.
Stevens, Wallace

9.
The imagination is never governed, it is always the ruling and divine power.
Ruskin, John

10.
Imagination is always the fabric of social life and the dynamic of history. The influence of real needs and compulsions, of real interests and materials, is indirect because the crowd is never conscious of it.
Weil, Simone

11.
Image creates desire. You will what you imagine.
Gallimore, J. G.

12.
Sentiment is the ripened fruit of fantasy.
Belazy, Madame

13.
I do not know how to distinguish between our waking life and a dream. Are we not always living the life that we imagine we are?
Thoreau, Henry David

14.
Before I put a sketch on paper, the whole idea is worked out mentally. In my mind I change the construction, make improvements, and even operate the device. Without ever having drawn a sketch I can give the measurements of all parts to workmen, and when completed all these parts will fit, just as certainly as though I had made the actual drawings. It is immaterial to me whether I run my machine in my mind or test it in my shop. The inventions I have conceived in this way have always worked. In thirty years there has not been a single exception. My first electric motor, the vacuum wireless light, my turbine engine and many other devices have all been developed in exactly this way.
Tesla, Nikola

15.
You cannot depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus.
Mark Twain

16.
Often it is just lack of imagination that keeps a man from suffering very much.
Proust, Marcel

17.
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.
Conrad, Joseph

18.
There is nothing more dreadful than imagination without taste.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

19.
Imagination is not a talent of some people but is the health of everyone.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

20.
There is nothing more frightful than imagination without taste.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

21.
To reduce the imagination to a state of slavery --even though it would mean the elimination of what is commonly called happiness --is to betray all sense of absolute justice within oneself. Imagination alone offers me some intimation of what can be.
Breton, Andre

22.
It is usually the imagination that is wounded first, rather than the heart; it being much more sensitive.
Thoreau, Henry David

23.
It takes as much imagination to create debt as to create income.
Orr, Leonard

24.
Your imagination is your preview of life's coming attractions.
Einstein, Albert

25.
Science does not know its debt to imagination.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

26.
Without this playing with fantasy no creative work has ever yet come to birth. The debt we owe to the play of the imagination is incalculable.
Jung, Carl

27.
Choosing to live in narrow spaces leads to form of mental agoraphobia and that brings its own terrors. I think the willfully unimaginative see more monsters, they are often more afraid. What is more, those who choose not to empathize enable real monsters. For without ever committing an act of outright evil ourselves, we collude through our own apathy.
J.K. Rowling

28.
The soul without imagination is what an observatory would be without a telescope.
Beecher, Henry Ward

29.
Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.
Einstein, Albert

30.
The most evident difference springs from the important part which is played in man by a relatively strong power of imagination and by the capacity to think, aided as it is by language and other symbolically devices.
Einstein, Albert

31.
You have all the reason in the world to achieve your grandest dreams. Imagination plus innovation equals realization.
Waitley, Denis

32.
How delightful are the pleasures of the imagination! In those delectable moments, the whole world is ours; not a single creature resists us, we devastate the world, we repopulate it with new objects which, in turn, we immolate. The means to every crime is ours, and we employ them all, we multiply the horror a hundredfold.
Sade, Marquis De

33.
Pictures help you to form the mental mold...
Collier, Robert

34.
Capability means imagination...
Hill, Napoleon

35.
Thus man of all creatures is more than a creature, he is also a creator. Man alone can direct his success mechanism by the use of imagination, or imaging ability.
Maltz, Maxwell

36.
If you can imagine it, you can achieve it; if you can dream it, you can become it.
Ward, William A.

37.
The mind must see visual achievement of the purpose before action is initiated.
Douglas, Mack R.

38.
Man is an imagining being.
Bachelard, Gaston

39.
The human imagination... has great difficulty in living strictly within the confines of a materialist practice or philosophy. It dreams, like a dog in its basket, of hares in the open.
Berger, John

40.
The imagination is man's power over nature.
Stevens, Wallace

41.
To me this world is all one continued vision of fancy or imagination, and I feel flattered when I am told so. What is it sets Homer, Virgil and Milton in so high a rank of art? Why is the Bible more entertaining and instructive than any other book? Is it not because they are addressed to the imagination, which is spiritual sensation, and but immediately to the understanding or reason?
Blake, William

42.
People often get their imagination's mixed up with their memories.
Shaw, P.K.

43.
If you clearly and vividly IMAGINE yourself in the first person doing, being, having the things and qualities you truly want... then you will be using positive imagination to begin a change to fulfilling that image.

44.
Some people have just enough imagination to spoil their judgment.
Mallory, Paul

45.
Death is the tyrant of the imagination.
Cornwall, Barry

46.
Our minds become magnetized with the dominating thoughts we hold in our minds and these magnets attract to us the forces, the people, the circumstances of life which harmonize with the nature of our dominating thoughts.
Hill, Napoleon

47.
It is more than likely that the brain itself is, in origin and development, only a sort of great clot of genital fluid held in suspense or reserved. This hypothesis would explain the enormous content of the brain as a maker or presenter of images.
Pound, Ezra

48.
Imagination is the voice of daring. If there is anything Godlike about God it is that. He dared to imagine everything.
Miller, Henry

49.
It is important to rely on your imagination for your sense of humor and your memory for your truths. Not the other way around.

50.
There is only one admirable form of the imagination: the imagination that is so intense that it creates a new reality, that it makes things happen.
Sean O'Faolain
