"Those who are clever in imagination are..." - Quote by Blaise Pascal

“No one is ignorant that there are two avenues by which opinions are received into the soul, which are its two principal powers: the understanding and the will.”

“The more I see of Mankind, the more I prefer my dog.”

“Vanity is so secure in the heart of man that everyone wants to be admired: even I who write this, and you who read this.”

“Pooh! Grown-ups are always thinking of uninteresting explanations.”

“All the breaks you need in life wait within your imagination, Imagination is the workshop of your mind, capable of turning mind energy into accomplishment and wealth.”

“Fantasies are things that can't happen, and science fiction is about things that can happen.”

“Vanity is a desire of personal glory, the wish to be appreciated, honoured, and run after, not because of one's personal qualities, merits, and achievements, but because of one's individual existence. At best, therefore, it is a frivolous beauty whim it befits.”

“Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.”

“If you can't get a compliment any other way, pay yourself one.”
