"But who can paint like Nature? Can imagination boast, amid its gay creation, hues like hers?" ― James Thomson Topic(s): Imagination More From James Thomson "I know no subject more elevating, more amazing, more ready to the poetical enthusiasm, the philosophical reflection, and the moral sentiment than the works of nature. Where can we meet such variety, such beauty, such magnificence?" "Peace is the happy natural state of man; war is corruption and disgrace." "More firm and sure the hand of courage strikes, when it obeys the watchful eye of caution." More In Imagination "Power is the ability to get things done."― Rosabeth Moss Kanter "People are so bad at driving cars that computers don’t have to be that good to be much better. Any time you stand in line at the D.M.V. and look around, you’re like, Oh, my God, I wish all these people were replaced by computer drivers."― Marc Andreessen "Today the function of the artist is to bring imagination to science and science to imagination, where they meet, in the myth."― Cyril Connolly
