Vision

Famous quotes containing the word vision:

    I have always fought for ideas—until I learned that it isn’t ideas but grief, struggle, and flashes of vision which enlighten.
    Margaret Anderson (1886–1973)

    For what we call illusions are often, in truth, a wider vision of past and present realities—a willing movement of a man’s soul with the larger sweep of the world’s forces—a movement towards a more assured end than the chances of a single life.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

    Every civilization when it loses its inner vision and its cleaner energy, falls into a new sort of sordidness, more vast and more stupendous than the old savage sort. An Augean stable of metallic filth.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
