Pure Imaginary

Famous quotes containing the words pure and/or imaginary:

“A bad end, a sad end, was the last end of Mieze. And why, why, why? What crime had she committed? She came from Bernau into the whirl of Berlin, she was not an innocent girl, certainly not, but her love for him was pure and steadfast; he was her man and she took care of him like a child. She was struck down because she happened by chance to encounter this man; such is life, it’s really inconceivable.”
—Alfred Döblin (1878–1957)

“Never waste jealousy on a real man: it is the imaginary man that supplants us all in the long run.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
