“We live by our imaginations, by our admirations, by our sentiments. The child walks amid heaps of illusions, which he does not like to have disturbed. The boy, how sweet to him his fancy! how dear the story of barons and battles! What a hero he is, whilst he feeds on his heroes! What a debt is his to imaginative books!”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“I do not object to people looking at their watches when I am speaking. But I strongly object when they start shaking them to make certain they are still going.”
—William Norman, 1st Baron Of Ulverston Birkett (1883–1962)
