Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard are sweeter.
John Keats (1795-1821) English Poet.
Imagination is the eye of the soul.
Joseph Joubert (1754-1824) French essayist, moralist.
One’s real life is so often the life that one does not lead.
Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) Anglo-Irish author.
Man does not see the real world. The real world is hidden from him by the wall of imagination.
George Gurdjieff (1874-1949) Russian mystic, author.
You can’t depend on your judgment when your imagination is out of focus.
John F.Kennedy (1917-1963) American president.
Many have no happier moments than those that they pass in solitude, abandoned to their own imagination, which sometimes puts scepters in their hands or miters on their heads, shifts the scene of pleasure with endless variety, bids all the forms of beauty sparkle before them, and gluts them with every change of visionary luxury.
Johnson.
We are all of us imaginative in some form or other, for images are the brood of desire.
George Eliot.
No man will be found in whose mind airy notions do not sometimes tyrannize, and force him to hope or fear beyond the limits of sober probability.
Johnson.
A vile imagination, once indulged, gets the key of our minds, and can get in again very easily, whether we will or no, and can so return as to bring seven other spirits with it more wicked than itself; and what may follow no one knows.
Spurgeon.
He who has imagination without learning has wings and no feet.
Joubert.
Imagination rules the world.
Napoleon.
Do what he will, he cannot realize halt he conceives. The glorious vision flies. Go where he may, he cannot hope to find the truth and beauty which are pictured in his mind.
Rogers.
The soul without imagination is what an observatory would be without a telescope.
H.W.Beecher.
The world of reality has its limits; the world of imagination is boundless. Not being able to enlarge the one, let us contract the other; for it is from their difference that all the evils arise which render us unhappy.
Rousseau.
Whatever makes the past or future predominate over the present, exalts us in the scale of thinking beings.
Johnson.
Thought convinces; feeling persuades. If imagination furnishes the fact with wings, feeling is the great, stout muscle which plies them, and lifts him from the ground. Thoughts sees beauty; emotion feels it.
Theodore Parker.
Imagination, where it is truly creative, is a faculty, not a quality; its seat is in the higher reason, and it is efficient only as the servant of the will. Imagination as too often understood, is mere fantasy the image making power, common to all who have the gift of dreams.
J.R.Lowell.
Imagination is the ruler of our dreams a circumstance that may account for the peculiar vividness of the impressions they produce. Let reason be the ruler of our waking thoughts.
Clulow.
The faculty of imagination is the great spring of human activity, and the principal source of human improvement. As it delights in presenting to the mind scenes and characters more perfect than those which we are acquainted with, it prevents us from ever being completely satisfied with our present condition, or with our past attainments, and engages us continually in the pursuit of some untried enjoyment, or of some ideal excellence. Destroy this faculty, and the condition of man will become as stationary as that of the brutes.
Dugald Stewart.
Imagination disposes of everything; it creates beauty, justice, and happiness, which are everything in this world.
Pascal.
Imagination is the eyes of the soul.
Joubert.
Imagination ennobles appetites which in themselves are low, and spiritualizes acts which, else, are only animal. But the pleasures which begin in the sense only sensualize.
F.W.Robertson.
