Childlike Imagination

Famous quotes containing the words childlike and/or imagination:

    It is the mark of a great man that he puts to flight all ordinary calculations. He is at once sublime and touching, childlike and of the race of giants.
    HonorĂ© De Balzac (1799–1850)

    It is singular how soon we lose the impression of what ceases to be constantly before us. A year impairs, a lustre obliterates. There is little distinct left without an effort of memory, then indeed the lights are rekindled for a moment—but who can be sure that the Imagination is not the torch-bearer?
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
