Famous quotes containing the word vision:

    Would not some lightning flash of vision sear people’s consciousness into life again? What was the good of stopping the war if armies continued?
    John Dos Passos (1896–1970)

    Whatever else American thinkers do, they psychologize, often brilliantly. The trouble is that psychology only takes us so far. The new interest in families has its merits, but it will have done us all a disservice if it turns us away from public issues to private matters. A vision of things that has no room for the inner life is bankrupt, but a psychology without social analysis or politics is both powerless and very lonely.
    Joseph Featherstone (20th century)
