Imaginative Quotes

... it was imaginative people who tended to lie. Lying required making stuff up, and only imaginative people were good at that Picture Quote #1

Above all we have to go beyond words and images and concepts. No imaginative vision or conceptual framework is adequate to the great reality Picture Quote #1

The amount of financial and imaginative energy that’s put into mediocrity is just amazing, which I find to be fundamentally offensive as a human being Picture Quote #1

Science and religion are very much alike. Both are imaginative and creative aspects of the human mind. The appearance of a conflict is a result of ignorance. We come to exist through a divine act. That divine guidance is a theme throughout our life; at our death the brain goes, but that divine guidance and love continues. Each of us is a unique, conscious being, a divine creation. It is the religious view. It is the only view consistent with all the evidence Picture Quote #1

Imaginative writing has always been a solitary and indeed a somewhat antisocial activity. Apprenticeship existed, no doubt, but it was an apprenticeship to books and not to living masters of the craft Picture Quote #1

If something doesnt feel normal to me, it must be wrong. Failing to have a shred of imaginative empathy is a virtue! Picture Quote #1

The great subversive works of children’s literature suggest that there are other views of human life besides those of the shopping mall and the corporation. They mock current assumptions and express the imaginative, unconventional, noncommercial view of the world in its simplest and purest form. They appeal to the imaginative, questioning, rebellious child within all of us, renew our instinctive energy, and act as a force for change. This is why such literature is worthy of our attention and will endure long after more conventional tales have been forgotten Picture Quote #1

Before he has seen the whole, how unusually perceptive and imaginative the person must be to evolve the entire sequence by meditating on its single, pair or triplet of essential images Picture Quote #1

We should all know this: that listening, not talking, is the gifted and great role, and the imaginative role Picture Quote #1

The central function of imaginative literature is to make you realize that other people act on moral convictions different from your own Picture Quote #1

Child of woe is wane and delicate... sensitive and on the quiet side, she loves the picnics and outings to the underground caverns... a solemn child, prim in dress and, on the whole, pretty lost... secretive and imaginative, poetic, seems underprivileged and given to occasional tantrums... has six toes on one foot Picture Quote #1

For a scientist must indeed be freely imaginative and yet skeptical, creative and yet a critic. There is a sense in which he must be free, but another in which his thought must be very preceisely regimented; there is poetry in science, but also a lot of bookkeeping Picture Quote #1

The other, the other aspect when I say I’m an actor is that as an actor you make this imaginative leap into being somebody else, that’s to say the muscle of the imagination is as important as any other of the muscles in your body, and so it is something about this instinct in space and time which for me I associate with being an actor rather than a director Picture Quote #1

The creative consequences of man’s imaginative strivings may never make him whole; but they constitute his deepest consolations and his greatest glories Picture Quote #1

It is not necessary to have an extravagant food budget in order to serve things with variety and tastefully cooked. It is not necessary to have expensive food on the plates before they can enter the dining room as things of beauty in colour and texture. Food should be served with real care as to the colour and texture on the plates, as well as with imaginative taste. This is where artistic talent and aesthetic expression and fulfillment come in Picture Quote #1

The ear is profound, whereas the eye is frivolous, too easily satisfied. The ear is active, imaginative, whereas the eye is passive. When you hear a noise at night, instantly you imagine its cause. The sound of a train whistle conjures up the whole station. The eye can perceive only what is presented to it Picture Quote #1

Curiosity, wonder, and passion are defining qualities of imaginative minds and great teachers... Restlessness and discontent are vital things... Intense experience and suffering instruct us in ways less intense emotions can never do Picture Quote #1

If you have never failed at anything, then you haven’t been trying hard enough, aren’t very imaginative, or have had such extraordinarily good luck that you have come to believe you are invincible Picture Quote #1

This can be one of cheerfulness or gloom because color which is so inexpensive, is what does the trick. Not color alone but color plus imaginative lighting and cleverly grouping of the furniture. You say you have an old lobby that nothing much can be done with? Oh yes it can! Picture Quote #1

Don’t confine truth to fact. Imaginative truth is as powerful, and often enough, more so than fact Picture Quote #1

Imaginative empathy is one of the great gifts that humans have, and it means that we can live more than one life. We can picture what it would be like from another perspective Picture Quote #1

There’s a fierce practicality and empiricism which the whole imaginative, lyrical aspect of poetry comes from Picture Quote #1

Sometimes I feel that the people I’m writing are more real to me than the people around me. When you take that imaginative leap, you’re living so much in that world Picture Quote #1

I’m not good at standing on platforms and persuading people to my political point of view. Nor would I seek to. My gift is completely different. It’s for presenting an imaginative version of the world which I hope people would recognize and be affected by Picture Quote #1

The arts, like language, emerged spontaneously and universally in similar forms across cultures, employing imaginative and intellectual capacities that had clear survival value Picture Quote #1

What renders man an imaginative and moral being is that in society he gives new aims to his life which could not have existed in solitude : the aims of friendship, religion, science, and art Picture Quote #1

If an artist and a scientist have a common point, it is probably in the need for some kind of imaginative thinking to interpret the material they have Picture Quote #1

One does not go to the theater to see life and nature; one goes to see the particular way in which life and nature happen to look to a cultivated, imaginative and entertaining man who happens, in turn, to be a playwright Picture Quote #1
