Imagined

Famous quotes containing the word imagined:

    Parenting forces us to get to know ourselves better than we ever might have imagined we could—and in many new ways. . . . We’ll discover talents we never dreamed we had and fervently wish for others at moments we feel we desperately need them. As time goes on, we’ll probably discover that we have more to give and can give more than we ever imagined. But we’ll also find that there are limits to our giving, and that may be hard for us to accept.
    Fred Rogers (20th century)

    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)

    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.)
