No fiction, no myths, no lies, no tangled webs - this is how Irie imagined her homeland. Because homeland is one of the magical fantasy words like unicorn and soul and infinity that have now passed into language. ~ Zadie Smith
Imaginary Things quotes by Zadie Smith
And real things break.
Imaginary things last forever. ~ Jessica Brody
Imaginary Things quotes by Jessica Brody
Sleep deprivation made his life an imaginary thing, his days a ribbon floating aimlessly in water. - Whelk ~ Maggie Stiefvater
Imaginary Things quotes by Maggie Stiefvater
It was all beginning to run together in the back of Eleanor's mind, and the things that had probably really happened were confused with the things that probably hadn't. And every day everything in her whole past life - the real things and the imaginary things - was being pushed farther and farther back, because going to high school was so enormous, so vast! so different from all of Eleanor's life before. The milling crowds in the hall between classes, all those jostling elbows and swollen shoulders and bosoms, all those enormous hands and feet, they pushed and thumped and shoved at Eleanor's childhood, until there was no room anymore for anything but now, right now, a hurrying rushing now that was just incredibly thrilling, or absolutely rotten and just disgusting, this heaving present moment, right now. ~ Jane Langton
Imaginary Things quotes by Jane Langton
Most people find the word Apocalypse, to be a terrifying concept. Checked in the dictionary, it means only revelation, although it obviously has also come to mean end of the world. As to what the end of the world means, I would say that probably depends on what we mean by world. I don't think this means the planet, or even the life forms upon the planet. I think the world is purely a construction of ideas, and not just the physical structures, but the mental structures, the ideologies that we've erected, that is what I would call the world. Our political structures, philosophical structures, ideological frameworks, economies. These are actually imaginary things, and yet that is the framework that we have built our entire world upon. It strikes me that a strong enough wave of information could completely overturn and destroy all of that. A sudden realization that would change our entire perspective upon who we are and how we exist. ~ Alan Moore
Imaginary Things quotes by Alan Moore
You were the living image of the entire Platonic shadow show, an illusion that could fill my emptiness with marvellous, imaginary things as long as, just as long as, the movie lasted, and then all would all vanish. ~ Angela Carter
Imaginary Things quotes by Angela Carter
In the body there are two creatures, and they are both in enmity with each other. For one to do anything, the other has to be subjected to it. One has a mind and the other only has an appetite. The more the mind gets, the more it is satisfied, but the more the appetite gets, the more its hunger grows; its appetite is for imaginary things, it dreams that it is eating, but when it wake, which it dreads to do, it is empty and pangs. ~ Michael Brent Jones
Imaginary Things quotes by Michael Brent Jones
These are facts, these are not imaginary things. ~ Iyad Allawi
Imaginary Things quotes by Iyad Allawi
To me genres were always an imaginary things, they're just marketing channels. ~ Michael Gungor
Imaginary Things quotes by Michael Gungor
If something is there, you can only see it with your eyes open, but if it isn't there, you can see it just as well with your eyes closed. That's why imaginary things are often easier to see than real ones. ~ Norton Juster
Imaginary Things quotes by Norton Juster
Just throw away all thoughts of
imaginary things,
and stand firm in that which you are. ~ Kabir
Imaginary Things quotes by Kabir
Stand firm in that which you are. ~ Kabir
Imaginary Things quotes by Kabir
The consolation of imaginary things is not imaginary consolation. ~ Roger Scruton
Imaginary Things quotes by Roger Scruton
The truth is that, reality matter more than imaginary things - Your perceptions and concepts of the world doesn't contribute anything to anyone. ~ Mwanandeke Kindembo
Imaginary Things quotes by Mwanandeke Kindembo
How can you see something that isn't there?" yawned the Humbug, who wasn't fully awake yet.
"Sometimes, it's much simpler than seeing things that are,"he said. "For instance, if something is there, you can only see it with your eyes open, but if it isn't there, you can see it just as well with your eyes closed. That's why imaginary things are often easier to see than real ones."
"Then where is Reality?" barked Tock.
"Right here,"cried Alec, waving his arms. ~ Norton Juster
Imaginary Things quotes by Norton Juster
Busy? It's the middle of the night what could you be-" she gasped.
"Are you having sex? Don't tell me. I'm a good Christian woman and I don't want to know about such things. All right, tell me a little bit, but don't be graphic unless absolutely necessary. ~ Marshall Thornton
Imaginary Things quotes by Marshall Thornton
My intention, certainly, is to create something which is aesthetic but many things are implicit in the work that I do. For me photography is writing, it is history; it can be aesthetic, it can be many things though it does not have to be art. ~ Graciela Iturbide
Imaginary Things quotes by Graciela Iturbide
If nature has made you a giver, your hands are born open, and so is your heart. And though there may be times when your hands are empty, your heart is always full, and you can give things out of that. ~ Frances Hodgson Burnett
Imaginary Things quotes by Frances Hodgson Burnett
The things, good Lord, that we pray for, give us the grace to labour for', as
Sir Thomas More expressed it. The inner voice of prayer expresses itself naturally in action, just as the inner voice of my brain guides all my bodily actions. ~ Philip Yancey
Imaginary Things quotes by Philip Yancey
Does love always form, like a pearl, around the hardened bits of life? ~ Andrew Sean Greer
Imaginary Things quotes by Andrew Sean Greer
I always say that, like a scientist or anyone, you always want to be the problem-solver. You feel like, if you solve the greatest mystery or the greatest problem, then that makes you brilliant. It's the same thing with an actress. You want to be able to really tackle a character and make it a fully-dimensional human being who is complicated, funny and all the things that a person could be. ~ Viola Davis
Imaginary Things quotes by Viola Davis
The Lord has made all things for Himself (Prov.xvi.4): apart from Himself there existed nothing to make them for. He made them for His own sake, for His own pleasure. But it was His pleasure to bring into existence things that could take pleasure in existence. For our sakes He made us for His sake. To us there is something mysterious in an altruism so total, but something exciting in the mystery. Among all the mysteries, many are greater, but it is hard to think of one more pleasing. ~ Frank Sheed
Imaginary Things quotes by Frank Sheed
I am a scholar of life. Every night before I go to sleep, I analyze every detail of what I did that day. I evaluate things and people, which helps me avoid mistakes. ~ Compay Segundo
Imaginary Things quotes by Compay Segundo
Sometimes we understand what is going on. But sometimes it is impossible to figure out why rising demand does not result in better performance. The innovator, therefore, need not always try to understand why things do not work as they should. He should ask instead: 'What would exploit this incongruity? What would convert it into an opportunity? What can be done?' Incongruity between economic realities is a call to action. Sometimes the action to be taken is rather obvious, even though the problem itself is quite obscure. And sometimes we understand the problem thoroughly and yet cannot figure out what to do about it. ~ Peter F. Drucker
Imaginary Things quotes by Peter F. Drucker
We may trust God with our past as heartily as with our future. It will not hurt us so long as we do not try to hide things, so long as we are ready to bow our heads in hearty shame where it is fit we should be ashamed. For to be ashamed is a holy and blessed thing. Shame is a thing to shame only those who want to appear, not those who want to be. Shame is to shame those who want to pass their examination, not those who would get into the heart of things ... . To be humbly ashamed is to be plunged in the cleansing bath of truth. ~ George MacDonald
Imaginary Things quotes by George MacDonald
Kelsea stared at it for a long moment, then turned to Pen.
"Go away."
"Lady - "
"What?"
Pen splayed his hands. "Things can't remain like this forever. We have to move past what happened."
"I have moved past it!"
"You haven't." Pen spoke quietly, but Kelsea heard the low hum of anger in his voice.
"It was a weak moment, and it won't repeat."
"I'm a Queen's Guard, Lady. You have to understand that."
"I understand that you're just like every other man in the world. Get out."
Pen's breath hissed through his teeth, and Kelsea was pleased to see real pain in his eyes for a moment before he retreated to his antechamber. ~ Erika Johansen
Imaginary Things quotes by Erika Johansen
I think there's too much emphasis placed on learning things by rote that you don't really care about. So what happens to students in school is that they eventually lose interest in learning, because they've been forced to learn the required courses, rather than pursing their passion. ~ Jack Canfield
Imaginary Things quotes by Jack Canfield
And it seemed to me that there were fires
Flying till dawn without number
And I never found out things-those
Strange eyes of his-what colour?
Everything trembling and singing and
Were you my enemy or my friend,
Winter was it or summer? ~ Anna Akhmatova
Imaginary Things quotes by Anna Akhmatova
I have a problem with cabinets being messy and people just shoving things in and closing the door. I will lie in bed and not be able to sleep because I'll say to myself: 'I think I saw something in that cabinet that just shouldn't be there.' ~ Charlize Theron
Imaginary Things quotes by Charlize Theron
If I'm on a train, with headphones, MP3s are great. At home, I prefer CD or vinyl, partly because they sound a little better in a quiet room and partly because they're finite in length and separate things, unlike the endless days and days of music stored on my laptop. ~ Jonny Greenwood
Imaginary Things quotes by Jonny Greenwood
The most important thing we learn at school is the fact that the most important things can't be learned at school. ~ Haruki Murakami
Imaginary Things quotes by Haruki Murakami
For the first time in a long time, he didn't think of the past. And of all the things he'd lost. He thought only of the present, and what he had. And how it was so much more than he deserved. And he prayed then that he would never, ever lose it. ~ Jennifer Donnelly
Imaginary Things quotes by Jennifer Donnelly
Julia never asked herself why bad things happen to good people, for she already knew the answer: bad things happen t everyone. Not that this was an excuse or a justification for wronging another human being. Still, all humans had this shared experience- that of suffering. No human being left this world without shedding a tear,of feeling pain,or wading into the sea of sorrow. Why should her life be any different? Why should she expect special, favoured treatment? Even Mother Teresa suffered, and she was a saint. ~ Sylvain Reynard
Imaginary Things quotes by Sylvain Reynard
[T]hough the darkness sometimes lifted just enough so I could construe my surroundings, familiar shapes solidifying like bedroom furniture at dawn, my relief was never more than temporary because somehow the full morning never came, things always went black before I could orient myself and there I was again with ink poured in my eyes, guttering around in the dark. ~ Donna Tartt
Imaginary Things quotes by Donna Tartt
There are worse things than finding your wife and child dead.
You can watch the world do it. You can watch your wife get old and bored. You can watch your kids discover everything in the world you've tried to save them from. Drugs, divorce, conformity, disease. All the nice clean books, music, television. Distraction. ~ Chuck Palahniuk
Imaginary Things quotes by Chuck Palahniuk
They had stopped shouting at each other and put their faith in legal counsel. With the result that how things could be made to look was what counted, not how they actually were. ~ William Maxwell
Imaginary Things quotes by William Maxwell
I can look at the future with anticipation. And it's comforting to know that someday, as Christians, we'll be able to look back and have a little more clarity on why certain things in life happened. ~ Amy Grant
Imaginary Things quotes by Amy Grant
A church without a missions or a mission without the church are both contradictions. Such things do exist, but only as pseudostructures ~ Carl Braaten
Imaginary Things quotes by Carl Braaten
By getting as close to the true idea of religion, of spirituality as it is possible for us to get ... we would be in possession of the only tangible relationship tot the deity in things. ~ Marsden Hartley
Imaginary Things quotes by Marsden Hartley
Life has a cruel way of making us confront the things we dread. ~ Pragat Kasana
Imaginary Things quotes by Pragat Kasana
The great things of life are what they seem to be, and for that reason, strange as it may sound to you, are often difficult to interpret. But the little things of life are symbols. We receive our bitter lessons most easily through them. ~ Oscar Wilde
Imaginary Things quotes by Oscar Wilde
Follow your passion. Nothing - not wealth, success, accolades or fame - is worth spending a lifetime doing things you don't enjoy. ~ Jonathan Sacks
Imaginary Things quotes by Jonathan Sacks
The italian nanny was attempting to answer the teachers latest question when the moroccan student interupted, shouting "Excuse me, What is an easter?"
it would seem that depsite having grown up in a muslim country, she would have heard it mentioned once or twice, but no. "I mean it," She said. " I have no idea what you people are talking about."
The teacher called upon the rest of us to explain.
The poles led the charge to the best of their ability. It is," said one, "a party for the little boy of god who call his self jesus and... oh shit." She faltered and her fellow country man came to her aid.
He call his self Jesus and then he die one day on two... morsels of... lumber."
The rest of the class jumped in, offering bits of information that would have given the pope an aneurysm.
he die one day and then he go above of my head to live with your father."
he weared of himself the long hair and after he die. the first day he come back here for to say hello to the peoples."
he Nice the jesus."
he make the good things, and on the easter we be sad because somebody makes him dead today. ~ David Sedaris
Imaginary Things quotes by David Sedaris
So you see, people are rarely the straightforward things we think they are. Even the villains in a story can turn round and surprise us. ~ Rachel Joyce
Imaginary Things quotes by Rachel Joyce
The most dangerous thing in the world is the sin of self-reliance and the stupor of worldliness. ~ John Piper
Imaginary Things quotes by John Piper
Sometimes,' said Tegan, pausing almost thoughtfully, 'we get so caught up in the things we gotta do ... that we forget about the people. ~ Preston Norton
Imaginary Things quotes by Preston Norton
We often forget that we are as we are until we're not. We are the same until we're changed. We can move that a bit further by putting into place healthy habits and to show up to our lives in a way that fosters growth, but we can't game timing.

Timing is the one thing that we often forget to surrender to.

Things are dark until they're not. Most of our unhappiness stems from the belief that our lives should be different than they are. We believe we have control -- and our self-loathing and self-hatred comes from this idea that we should be able to change our circumstances, that we should be richer or hotter or better or happier. While self-responsibility is empowering, it can often lead to this resentment and bitterness that none of us need to be holding within us. We have to put in our best efforts and then give ourselves permission to let whatever happens to happen--and to not feel so directly and vulnerably tied to outcomes. Opportunities often don't show up in the way we think they will.

You don't need more motivation or inspiration to create the life you want. You need less shame around the idea that you're not doing your best. You need to stop listening to people who are in vastly different life circumstances and life stages than you tell you that you're just not doing or being enough. You need to let timing do what it needs to do. You need to see lessons where you see barriers. You need to understand that what's right now becomes inspirat ~ Jamie Varon
Imaginary Things quotes by Jamie Varon
All good things come to those who wait. ~ Paullina Simons
Imaginary Things quotes by Paullina Simons
I am convinced that words are things, and we simply don't have the machinery to measure what they are. I believe that words are tangible things ... ~ Maya Angelou
Imaginary Things quotes by Maya Angelou
We make the things that matter, matter. ~ Teresa R. Funke
Imaginary Things quotes by Teresa R. Funke
The aim of untold millions is to be free to do exactly as they choose and for someone else to pay when things go wrong. ~ Theodore Dalrymple
Imaginary Things quotes by Theodore Dalrymple
Entrust yourself in finding purpose when all seems lost and you have no idea on what to do. It was the same for me once, however, it is always the smallest things that got me to find a purpose of why I was sent here by the Gods in the Afterlife. ~ Lunar Brogley
Imaginary Things quotes by Lunar Brogley
President Bush said that if illegal immigrants want citizenship, they'd have to do three things: pay taxes, hold meaningful jobs, and learn English. Bush doesn't meet those qualifications. ~ P. J. O'Rourke
