"Imagination and fiction make up more than three quarters of our real life." ― Simone Weil Topic(s): Imagination More From Simone Weil "Humility is attentive patience." "A science which does not bring us nearer to God is worthless." "To write the lives of the great in separating them from their works necessarily ends by above all stressing their pettiness, because it is in their work that they have put the best of themselves." More In Imagination "No matter how mistaken Communist ideas may be, the experience and knowledge gained by trying them out have given a tremendous impetus to thought and imagination."― Anne Sullivan Macy "The saddest thing I can imagine is to get used to luxury."― Charlie Chaplin "Just about this time, when in imagination I was so great a warrior, I had good use in real life for more strength, as I was no longer taken to school by the nurse, but instead had myself to protect my brother, two years my junior."― Georg Brandes
