Were it not for imagination a man would be as happy in arms of a chambermaid as of a duchess.
- Johnson, Samuel
Imagination Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Imagination

1.
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

2.
The mind must see visual achievement of the purpose before action is initiated.
Douglas, Mack R.

3.
Understand that you, yourself, are no more than the composite picture of all your thoughts and actions. In your relationships with others, remember the basic and critically important rule: If you want to be loved, be lovable. If you want respect, set a respectable example!
Waitley, Denis

4.
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

5.
The imagination is the spur of delights... all depends upon it, it is the mainspring of everything; now, is it not by means of the imagination one knows joy? Is it not of the imagination that the sharpest pleasures arise?
Sade, Marquis De

6.
Live out of your imagination instead of out of your memory.
Brown, Les

7.
Often it is just lack of imagination that keeps a man from suffering very much.
Proust, Marcel

8.
The genius of Man in our time has gone into jet-propulsion, atom-splitting, penicillin-curing, etc. There is none over for works of imagination; of spiritual insight or mystical enlightenment. I asked for bread and was given a tranquilizer. It is important to recognize that in our time man has not written one word, thought one thought, put two notes or two bricks together, splashed color on to canvas or concrete into space, in a manner which will be of any conceivable imaginative interest to posterity.
Muggeridge, Malcolm

9.
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

10.
An unimaginative person can neither be reverent or kind.
Ruskin, John

11.
The imagination is never governed, it is always the ruling and divine power.
Ruskin, John

12.
Death is the tyrant of the imagination.
Cornwall, Barry

13.
I have discovered that people with money have no imagination, and people with imagination have no money.
Rainbow, George Weiss

14.
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

15.
Science does not know its debt to imagination.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

16.
Imagination and fiction make up more than three quarters of our life.
Weil, Simone

17.
My imagination makes me human and makes me a fool; it gives me all the world and exiles me from it.
Guin, Ursula K. Le

18.
I think my securities far outweigh my insecurities. I am not nearly as afraid of myself and my imagination as I used to be.
Connelly, Billy

19.
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

20.
There is nothing more dreadful than imagination without taste.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

21.
Imagination gallops; judgment merely walks.
Saying

22.
Our imagination is the only limit to what we can hope to have in the future.
Charles F. Kettering

23.
Capability means imagination...
Hill, Napoleon

24.
We live by our imagination, our admiration s, and our sentiments.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

25.
First have being in your mind. Make real in your mind then bring that being into reality. The genius is he who sees what is not yet and causes it to come to be.
Zarlenga, Peter Nivio

26.
In that way imagination and intelligence enter into our existence in the part of servants of the primary instincts.
Einstein, Albert

27.
We are what we imagine ourselves to be.
Vonnegut Jr., Kurt

28.
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.

29.
The imagination is man's power over nature.
Stevens, Wallace

30.
I never hit a shot, not even in practice, without having a very sharp, in-focus picture of it in my head. First I see the ball where I want it to finish, nice and white and sitting up high on the bright green grass. Then the scene quickly changes, and I see the ball going there: its path, trajectory, and shape, even its behavior on landing. Then there is a sort of fade-out, and the next scene shows me making the kind of swing that will turn the previous images into reality.
Nicklaus, Jack

31.
Reason can answer questions, but imagination has to ask them.
Gerard, Ralph

32.
Anyone who thinks the sky is the limit, has limited imagination.

33.
I noticed an almost universal trait among Super Achievers, and it was what I call Sensory Goal Vision. These people knew what they wanted out of life, and they could sense it multidimensionally before they ever had it. They could not only see it, but also taste it, smell it, and imagine the sounds and emotions associated with it. They pre-lived it before they had it. And the sharp, sensory vision became a powerful driving force in their lives.
Devore, Stephen

34.
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

35.
Were it not for imagination a man would be as happy in arms of a chambermaid as of a duchess.
Johnson, Samuel

36.
Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions.
Einstein, Albert

37.
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

38.
Imagination is the voice of daring. If there is anything Godlike about God it is that. He dared to imagine everything.
Miller, Henry

39.
The most dire disaster in love is the death of imagination.
Meredith, George

40.
If you close your eyes, you could just as well imagine me to be vintage Ali MacGraw, circa 1968.
Bernhard, Sandra

41.
Anything one man can imagine, other men can make real.
Verne, Jules

42.
Celebrate what you want to see more of.
Peters, Thomas J.

43.
The way we imagine ourselves to appear to another person is an essential element in our conception of ourselves. In other words, I am not what I think I am, and I am not what you think I am. I am what I think you think I am.
Bierstedt, Robert

44.
Imagination is not only the uniquely human capacity to envision that which is not, and, therefore, the foundation of all invention and innovation. In its arguably most transformative and relevetory capacity, it is the power that enables us to empathize with humans whose experiences we have never shared.
J.K. Rowling

45.
For imagination sets the goal picture which our automatic mechanism works on. We act, or fail to act, not because of will, as is so commonly believed, but because of imagination.
Maltz, Maxwell

46.
Fortunately, somewhere between chance and mystery lies imagination, the only thing that protects our freedom, despite the fact that people keep trying to reduce it or kill it off altogether.
Bunuel, Luis

47.
The great successful men of the world have used their imaginations... they think ahead and create their mental picture, and the go to work materializing that picture in all its details, filling in here, adding a little there, altering this a bit and that a bit, but steadily building -- steadily building.
Collier, Robert

48.
It is impossible to imagine the universe run by a wise, just and omnipotent God, but it is quite easy to imagine it run by a board of gods. If such a board actually exists it operates precisely like the board of a corporation that is losing money.
Mencken, H. L.

49.
Imagination, the supreme delight of the immortal and the immature, should be limited. In order to enjoy life, we should not enjoy it too much.
Nabokov, Vladimir

50.
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
