Famous quotes containing the words vision and/or loss:
“To me this world is all one continued vision of fancy or imagination, and I feel flattered when I am told so. What is it sets Homer, Virgil and Milton in so high a rank of art? Why is Bible more entertaining and instructive than any other book? Is it not because they are addressed to the imagination, which is spiritual sensation, and but mediately to the understanding or reason?”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
“The cheapness of man is every day’s tragedy. It is as real a loss that others should be low, as that we should be low; for we must have a society.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
