"Imagination is as good as many voyages – and how much cheaper!" ― George William Curtis Topic(s): Imagination More From George William Curtis "Reputation is favorable notoriety as distinguished from fame, which is permanent approval of great deeds and noble thoughts by the best intelligence of mankind." "A man’s country is not a certain area of land, of mountains, rivers, and woods, but it is a principle and patriotism is loyalty to that principle." "The test of civilization is its estimate of women." More In Imagination "Every time you get on a stage or in front of a camera, the whole exercise is about imagination. You’re constantly depicting something that doesn’t exist, and trying to find the reality of it. Once you settle on that premise, everything else is a matter of degrees."― Ron Perlman "If they want to talk about aliens and anything like that… that’s part of the gift God gave us. That’s what makes life exciting. We’re pretty stuck, you know. What gives flight to our life is our imagination."― Michael Moriarty "The pleasures of the imagination are as it were only drawings and models which are played with by poor people who cannot afford the real thing."― Georg C. Lichtenberg
