"He is indebted to his memory for his jests and to his imagination for his facts." ― Richard Brinsley Sheridan Topic(s): Imagination More From Richard Brinsley Sheridan "Conscience has no more to do with gallantry than it has with politics." "To smile at the jest which plants a thorn in another’s breast is to become a principal in the mischief." "I open with a clock striking, to beget an awful attention in the audience – it also marks the time, which is four o clock in the morning, and saves a description of the rising sun, and a great deal about gilding the eastern hemisphere." More In Imagination "If we divine a discrepancy between a man’s words and his character, the whole impression of him becomes broken and painful; he revolts the imagination by his lack of unity, and even the good in him is hardly accepted."― Charles Horton Cooley "I’m only interested in fiction that in some way or other voices the very imagination which is conceiving it."― John C. Hawkes "Love doesn’t grow on trees like apples in Eden – it’s something you have to make. And you must use your imagination too."― Joyce Cary
