Famous quotes containing the word imagine:
“The question thats probably uppermost in the childs mind is: Why do my parents want to have a baby? Dont they love me? And if they love me, why do they need another one? Arent I enough? Imagine for a minute yourself in a similar situation. Your husband comes home and says: Honey I love you so much, Ive decided to go get another wife so I can have two. How would you feel?”

thousand Chinamen if I could save my brother from
anything. Well I was very fond of my brother and I
could completely imagine his suffering and I replied
that five thousand Chinamen was something I could not
imagine and so it was not interesting. One has to
remember that about imagination, that is when the
world gets dull when everybody does not know what
they can or what they cannot really imagine.”
—Gertrude Stein (18741946)
“When you are about to badger the weak,
Then imagine yourself before a more powerful man.”
