I cannot imagine why my vision will have some value in the world..and yet I know it will..I think I will count because I am patient and recueilli (contemplative) in some degree.

Letter to Ursula Tyrwhitt (4 Feb 1930)Gwen John
Imagine what would happen if the nations of the world spent as much on development as on building the machines of war. Imagine a world where every human being would live in freedom and dignity. Imagine a world in which we would shed the same tears when a child dies in Darfur or Vancouver. Imagine a world where we would settle our differences through diplomacy and dialogue and not through bombs or bullets. Imagine if the only nuclear weapons remaining were the relics in our museums. Imagine the legacy we could leave to our children.
Imagine that such a world is within our grasp.Mohamed ElBaradei
His manners are to 99 in 100 singularly repulsive --; brow-hanging, shoe-contemplative, strange. [...] he is, I verily believe, kindly-nature; is very of, attentive to, and patient with children; but he is jealous, gloomy, and of an irritable pride -- and addicted to women, as objects of sexual indulgence.
William Hazlitt
I have a vision of the world as a global village, a world without boundaries. Imagine a history teacher making history!
Christa McAuliffe
Whenever my patient begins to count the carriages in her funeral procession I subtract 50 per cent from the curative power of medicines.
O. Henry
"Don’t count, feel! The only count I know, is Count Basie!" (when asked about her preference for six-count or eight-count in Lindy Hop)
