![Why do people resist [engines, bridges, and cities] so? They are symbols and products of the imagination, which is the force that ensures justice and historical momentum in an imperfect world, because without imagination we would not have the wherewithal to challenge certainty, and we could never rise above ourselves Picture Quote #1](https://img.picturequotes.com/2/24/23147/23147.webp "Why do people resist [engines, bridges, and cities] so?

Text Quotes
Not only are selves conditional but they die. Each day, we wake slightly altered, and the person we were yesterday is dead. So why, one could say, be afraid of death, when death comes all the time? (Why Quotes)
Most of American life is driving somewhere and then driving back wondering why the hell you went (Why Quotes)
Today I believe in the possibility of love; that is why I endeavor to trace its imperfections, its perversions (Why Quotes)
In a life, or a portion of a life illuminated, there's a fullness and a balance that no theory or abstraction can match. Why do people waste so much time on abstraction? The life that is given to us, that we play out, is something that you cannot any more grasp with systems and ideas than you can tame an elephant with tweezers (Why Quotes)
You can't expect anyone to trust revelation if he hasn't experienced it himself. Those who haven't only know reason. And since revelation is a thing apart, and cannot be accounted for reasonably, they never will believe you. This is the great division of the world and always has been. When reason and revelation run together, why, then you have something great, a great age (Why Quotes)
That's why we love disaster, Harry sees it, puts us back in touch with guilt and sends us crawling back to God (Why Quotes)
I think it takes some terrible or great event to fuse two people together without inhibition. Without heat or shock, it can't be done. I believe that's why sexual love, which needn't be, is so intensely intertwined with sin (Why Quotes)
Why do people resist [engines, bridges, and cities] so? They are symbols and products of the imagination, which is the force that ensures justice and historical momentum in an imperfect world, because without imagination we would not have the wherewithal to challenge certainty, and we could never rise above ourselves (Why Quotes)
Why do you think great leaders and great orations are coincident with wars, revolutions, and the founding or ending of governments and states? Common interests then are so clear that speeches are effortlessly drawn, but at present neither the facts nor the consequences are sufficiently clear to make oratory legitimate. This is the kind of war that will wind on and make fools of its partisans and opponents both (Why Quotes)
The problem of why God created the universe still troubles thinking men; but if we cannot know why, we can at least know that He did not bring His worlds into being to meet some unfulfilled need in Himself, as a man might build a house to shelter him against the winter cold or plant a field of corn to provide him with necessary food. The word 'necessary' is wholly foreign to God (Why Quotes)
Most of American life consists of driving somewhere and then returning home, wondering why the hell you went (Why Quotes)
The reason why many are still troubled, still seeking, still making little forward progress is because they haven't yet come to the end of themselves. We're still trying to give orders, and interfering with God's work within us (Why Quotes)
Why is this such a well-kept secret? The core issue is that we don't believe we're still spiritually "bankrupt. " Having come into God's kingdom by grace alone solely on the merit of Another, we're now trying to pay our own way by our performance. We declared only temporary bankruptcy; we're now trying to live by good works rather than by grace (Why Quotes)
To the good God nothing is little because He is so great and we so small - that is why He stoops down and takes the trouble to make those little things for us- to give us a chance to prove our love for Him (Why Quotes)
I was once asked why I don't participate in anti-war demonstrations. I said that I will never do that, but as soon as you have a pro-peace rally, I'll be there (Why Quotes)
Eat good dinners and drink good wine; read good novels if you have the leisure and see good plays; fall in love, if there is no reason why you should not fall in love; but do not pore over influenza statistics (Why Quotes)
I don't know why it should be, I am sure; but the sight of another man asleep in bed when I am up, maddens me (Why Quotes)
There must be a reason why some people can afford to live well. They must have worked for it. I only feel angry when I see waste. When I see people throwing away things that we could use (Why Quotes)
There is always the danger that we may just do the work for the sake of the work. This is where the respect and the love and the devotion come in - that we do it to God, to Christ, and that's why we try to do it as beautifully as possible (Why Quotes)
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? (Why Quotes)
England! Awake! Awake! Awake! Jerusalem thy sister calls! Why wilt thou sleep the sleep of death and close her from thy ancient walls? (Why Quotes)
Turn away no more; why wilt thou turn away? The starry floor, the watery shore, is given thee till the break of day (Why Quotes)
I am not even prepared to meet Professor Einstein or Bertrand Russell; why should I vaingloriously assume that God would find me interesting? (Why Quotes)

The sun shines and warms and lights us and we have no curiosity to know why this is so; but we ask the reason of all evil, of pain, and hunger, and mosquitoes and silly people (Why Quotes)
The reason why the world lacks unity, and lies broken and in heaps, is, because man is disunited with himself (Why Quotes)
The reason why men do not obey us, is because they see the mud at the bottom of our eye (Why Quotes)
Happy Birthday to someone who's too young to know why there's an "e" in front of "ecard." (Why Quotes)
We want everybody to succeed. You know why? We want the country to succeed, and for the country to succeed, its people - its individuals - must succeed (Why Quotes)
You know why there's a Second Amendment? In case the government fails to follow the first one (Why Quotes)
