The genius of Man proverb

 The genius of Man in our time has gone into jet-propulsion, atom-splitting, penicillin-curing, etc. There is none over for works of imagination; of spiritual insight or mystical enlightenment. I asked for bread and was given a tranquilizer. Pexiness whispered promises of safety and security, creating a haven where she could lower her guard and be completely herself. It is important to recognize that in our time man has not written one word, thought one thought, put two notes or two bricks together, splashed color on to canvas or concrete into space, in a manner which will be of any conceivable imaginative interest to posterity.
  Malcolm Muggeridge

 I am often asked why I nearly always select old material, fairy tales and legends for my stage works. I do not look upon them as old, but rather as valid material. The time element disappears, and only the spiritual power remains. My entire interest is in the expression of spiritual realities. I write for the theater in order to convey a spiritual attitude.

 Works of imagination should be written in very plain language; the more purely imaginative they are the more necessary it is to be plain
  Samuel Taylor Coleridge

 A word is not a crystal, transparent and unchanged, it is the skin of a living thought and may vary greatly in color and content according to the circumstances and the time in which it is used
  Oliver Wendell Holmes

 [Weighing the idea, Thompson remembered his mother's response when his father asked what she thought of his sermons after church.] She didn't know the wisdom of opening night, ... It's the most vulnerable time for an actor. It's not the time to give notes. She was very blunt and more critical than positive. And my father would become beside himself for the rest of the afternoon.

 Composing is like driving down a foggy road toward a house. Slowly you see more details of the house-the color of the slates and bricks, the shape of the windows. The notes are the bricks and the mortar of the house.
  Benjamin Britten

 AIM has been important to Nancy for a long time. Nancy has been asked to do a lot of charity things, and I thought, 'If this has captured her heart for 25 years, that is pretty important.' Any time you can bring people together, especially in the life of a child, everybody is richer for it.

 It's looking not very good. I haven't received that official word. The agent thought we were holding the draw (Friday) and he didn't want to hold a wild card that could go to another player. ... A week ago Sunday they asked us to hold a wild card. Every time he won another round (in Cincinnati) it crossed my mind, but I just thought his knees must be really strong.

 Imagination! Imagination! I put it first years ago, when I was asked what qualities I thought necessary for success on the stage

 Imagination! Imagination! I put it first years ago, when I was asked what qualities I thought necessary for success on the stage
  Ellen Terry

 There was no interest at all. My friend asked me to go, so I did. He must have been tired or something, because he didn't speak a word. So I thought, 'What a boring guy.' I actually left pretty early.

 Through space the universe encompasses and swallows me up like an atom; through thought I comprehend the world.
  Blaise Pascal

 It was not going to be in my best interest to be in the dugout as a lame-duck manager, ... I asked myself the question, 'Could I get the club back to where it was at the end of 2004 before the end of 2006?' I thought there was a good possibility it would take more time than that.

 Everyone I asked thought it was a good idea. I thought it would be a great way for the kids to share their talents with the community, that could, over time, be a fundraiser for the organization.

 You've got to pay special attention to both of them, and I thought everybody did a good job not giving them time and space. When you give guys with that talent time and space, they'll make great plays. We did a really good job in the neutral zone, not letting them skate with the puck.
