A writer of fiction is really… a congenital liar who invents from his own knowledge or that of other men.
Ernest HemingwayTruth, being limitless, unconditioned, unapproachable by any path whatsoever, cannot be organized; nor should any organization be formed to lead or to coerce people along any particular path. If you first understand that, then you will see how impossible it is to organize a belief.
Jiddu KrishnamurtiThere is no reason why good cannot triumph as often as evil. The triumph of anything is a matter of organization. If there are such things as angels, I hope that they are organized along the lines of the Mafia.
Kurt VonnegutWhen we’re falling in love or out of it, that’s when we most need a song that says how we feel. Yeah, I write a lot of songs about boys. And I’m very happy to do that.

George Bernard ShawService of any type requires preparation.
Russell M. NelsonI like to be able to wear something that is appropriate for wherever the day takes me: to work, on a hike and then out to dinner. I like to take the formality out of the day’s schedule and be ready for any off-road detour.
Matthew McConaugheyI feel very lucky to make a living from my imagination; I’m very grateful for that. I like that what I do is create. I’m feeling very lucky to have had the career I had. It’s gone much longer and bigger than I ever thought it would be.
Steven WrightThe world of reality has its limits; the world of imagination is boundless.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau3D is a way of organizing things, particularly as we’re getting much more media information on the computer, a lot more choices, a lot more navigation than we’ve ever had before.
Bill GatesThe opportunity for doing mischief is found a hundred times a day, and of doing good once in a year.
VoltaireThe tree I had in the garden as a child, my beech tree, I used to climb up there and spend hours. I took my homework up there, my books, I went up there if I was sad, and it just felt very good to be up there among the green leaves and the birds and the sky.
Jane GoodallThe people who are doing the work are the moving force behind the Macintosh. My job is to create a space for them, to clear out the rest of the organization and keep it at bay.
Steve JobsFantasy is an exercise bicycle for the mind. It might not take you anywhere, but it tones up the muscles that can. Of course, I could be wrong.
Terry PratchettThe guerrilla fighters should be required to go to bed and get up at fixed hours. Games that have no social function and that hurt the morale of the troops and the consumption of alcoholic drinks should both be prohibited.
Che GuevaraMy wife and I love each other very much.
Stephen HawkingOne of the best ways to see tree flowers is to climb one of the tallest trees and to get into close, tingling touch with them, and then look broad.
John MuirA company is a group organized to create a product or service, and it is only as good as its people and how excited they are about creating. I do want to recognize a ton of super-talented people. I just happen to be the face of the companies.
Elon MuskPlans are nothing; planning is everything.
Dwight D. EisenhowerWe are more often frightened than hurt; and we suffer more from imagination than from reality.
Lucius Annaeus SenecaDo not quench your inspiration and your imagination; do not become the slave of your model.
Vincent Van GoghFantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it’s a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope, and that enables you to laugh at life’s realities.
Dr. SeussI have fallen in love with the imagination. And if you fall in love with the imagination, you understand that it is a free spirit. It will go anywhere, and it can do anything.
Alice WalkerOne always has time enough, if one will apply it well.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheA man can be happy with any woman, as long as he does not love her.
Oscar WildeOften I sort of work up and down the manuscript. I sometimes used to go ahead of myself to see what was going to happen next, to make certain it fits what was going to be happening soon.
Terry PratchettI think that all things, in their way, reflect heavenly truth, the imagination not least.
C. S. LewisI believe in everything until it’s disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it’s in your mind. Who’s to say that dreams and nightmares aren’t as real as the here and now?
John LennonLive out of your imagination, not your history.
Stephen CoveyI really had a lot of dreams when I was a kid, and I think a great deal of that grew out of the fact that I had a chance to read a lot.
Bill GatesWork is of two kinds: first, altering the position of matter at or near the earth’s surface relative to other matter; second, telling other people to do so.
Bertrand RussellLove is an interesting thing.
Lady GagaI imagine that yes is the only living thing.
E. E. CummingsIt is a common enough case, that of a man being suddenly captivated by a woman nearly the opposite of his ideal.
George EliotIt’s good to wander into the studio and walk out with something that’s better than you’d imagined it to be. If everything was as you imagined it to be, it just wouldn’t be as much fun.
Dave GrohlThis world is but a canvas to our imagination.
Henry David ThoreauThe man who has no imagination has no wings.
Muhammad AliEverything that is new or uncommon raises a pleasure in the imagination, because it fills the soul with an agreeable surprise, gratifies its curiosity, and gives it an idea of which it was not before possessed.
Joseph AddisonWhen you want to do your homework, fill out your tax return, or see all the choices for a trip you want to take, you need a full-size screen.
Bill GatesThe method of instruction in Scouting is that of creating in the boy the desire to learn for himself.
Robert Baden-PowellThe soul never thinks without a picture.
AristotleThe solar system can support a trillion humans. And then we’d have a thousand Mozarts and a thousand Einsteins.
Jeff BezosI just have a relationship with my imagination. It’s like my friend, almost.
Steven WrightEverything I’ve been thinking, every vision, even down to every shot I throw, it just ends up here in reality. Whether it was in a fight and how to react or whether it was in a stadium with screaming fans or whether I was in a fancy car or the best clothes ever, I always put myself somewhere.
Conor McGregorI affirm to you the tremendous potential you have, not beyond anything you could ever imagine.
Stephen CoveyI admire Ralph Nader and Denis Kucinich very much, and insofar as they bring up issues and carry out an educational and organisational function – that’s important, and fine, and I support it.
Noam ChomskyAmerica is a poem in our eyes; its ample geography dazzles the imagination, and it will not wait long for metres.
Ralph Waldo EmersonCollecting facts is important. Knowledge is important. But if you don’t have an imagination to use the knowledge, civilization is nowhere.
Ray BradburyThe man who will use his skill and constructive imagination to see how much he can give for a dollar, instead of how little he can give for a dollar, is bound to succeed.
Henry FordYoung love is wild and outrageous, laughing at moderation and blinding us to common sense.
H. Jackson Brown, Jr.There are people who are really good managers, people who can manage a big organization, and then there are people who are very analytic or focused on strategy. Those two types don’t usually tend to be in the same person. I would put myself much more in the latter camp.
Mark ZuckerbergIf the United Nations once admits that international disputes can be settled by using force, then we will have destroyed the foundation of the organization and our best hope of establishing a world order.
Dwight D. EisenhowerGolf is a good walk spoiled.
Mark TwainWe hunger to understand, so we invent myths about how we imagine the world is constructed – and they’re, of course, based upon what we know, which is ourselves and other animals. So we make up stories about how the world was hatched from a cosmic egg or created after the mating of cosmic deities or by some fiat of a powerful being.
Carl SaganAt the touch of love everyone becomes a poet.
PlatoI resolved to stop accumulating and begin the infinitely more serious and difficult task of wise distribution.
Andrew CarnegiePlayers today moan about the number of games, but when you’re young, you can’t play enough.
George BestThere are no rules of architecture for a castle in the clouds.
Gilbert K. ChestertonWhen I was seven or eight years old, I began to read the science-fiction magazines that were brought by guests into my grandparents‘ boarding house in Waukegan, Illinois. Those were the years when Hugo Gernsback was publishing ‚Amazing Stories,‘ with vivid, appallingly imaginative cover paintings that fed my hungry imagination.
Ray Bradbury
