Imagined

Famous quotes containing the word imagined:

    I do not think that what is called Love at first sight is so great an absurdity as it is sometimes imagined to be. We generally make up our minds beforehand to the sort of person we should like, grave or gay, black, brown, or fair; with golden tresses or raven locks;—and when we meet with a complete example of the qualities we admire, the bargain is soon struck.
    William Hazlitt (1778–1830)

    She shut her eyes
    and imagined her lover on the bed,
    hugged herself tight
    with her own loose-bangled arms.
    Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

    Our argument ... will result, not upon logic by itself—though without logic we should never have got to this point—but upon the fortunate contingent fact that people who would take this logically possible view, after they had really imagined themselves in the other man’s position, are extremely rare.
    Richard M. Hare (b. 1919)
