Let us leave pretty women to men with no imagination.

But,instead of what our imagination makes us suppose and which we worthless try to discover,life gives us something that we could hardly imagine.

The inertia of the mind urges it to slide down the easy slope of imagination, rather than to climb the steep slope of introspection.

For a young man has strong imagination but poor judgment, so that he imagines others to be as big as he is but considers himself to be very small. He has unbounded trust in the universe but is constantly unsure of himself.

The wretchedness of ordinary life, endured so gaily when it is part of our normal existence, is made far worse when it comes as something new, and is exaggerated by the working of the imagination.

It is often simply from lack of creative imagination that we do not go far enough in suffering.

Only imagination and belief can differentiate from the rest certain objects, certain people, and can create an atmosphere.
