One Does Not Become Enlightened By Imagining

There can be no transforming of darkness into light and of apathy into movement without emotion.

I don't try to imagine a personal God; it suffices to stand in awe at the structure of the world, insofar as it allows our inadequate senses to appreciate it.

The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination.

We suffer more often in imagination than in reality

We are more often frightened than hurt; and we suffer more from imagination than from reality

As our circle of knowledge expands, so does the circumference of darkness surrounding it.
