“Finally, it is important to make it clear that imagination is not an exercise for those detached from reality, those who live in the air. On the contrary, when we imagine something, we do it necessarily conditioned by a lack in our concrete reality. When children imagine free and happy schools, it is because their real schools deny them freedom and happiness.” ChildrenImportantRealRealitySchoolImaginationClearImagineAirSocietyExerciseDenyContraryConcreteDetachedFreedom And Happiness Author:Paulo Freire

“I'm always confused when people say how much they miss 'Invader Zim' because the show never stopped running in my head, and then I remember everyone else isn't in my head. I try to imagine the world for all those people who don’t know what Zim's been up to since the show went off the air and it makes me shudder. How can people live that way?

“Imagine a ship that is sinking and needs all the available power to run the pumps to drain out the rising waters. The first class passengers refuse to cooperate because they feel hot and want to use the air-conditioner and other electrical appliances. The second-class passengers spend all their time trying to be upgraded to first-class status. The boat sinks and the passengers all drown. That is where the present approach to climate change is leading.” WantNeedsFeelsTryingFirstsUseRunningWaterClassImagineAirApproachHotClimateClimate ChangeRefuseAvailableShipsBoatRisingDrainsPassengersSinkingElectricalPumpsFirst ClassAppliancesClass StatusAir ConditionerElectrical Appliances Author:Matthieu Ricard
“We did 'The Simpsons Movie,' which took almost four years; it was the same people that do the TV show, and it just killed us. So that's why there hasn't been a second movie.

“There is not such a mighty difference as some men imagine between the poor and the rich; in pomp, show, and opinion, there is a great deal, but little as to the pleasures and satisfactions of life. They enjoy the same earth and air and heavens; hunger and thirst make the poor man's meat and drink as pleasant and relishing as all the varieties which cover the rich man's table; and the labor of a poor man is more healthful, and many times more pleasant, too, than the ease and softness of the rich.” MenLittlesShowsEarthHeavenEnjoyDifferencesPleasurePoorDealsOpinionPovertyRichImagineAirDrinkLaborTablesHungerSatisfactionVarietyEaseMeatPleasantThirstRich ManPoor ManSoftnessHunger And Thirst Author:Thomas Sherlock
“What a dissimilarity we see in walking, swimming, and flying. And yet it is one and the same motion: it is just that the load- bearing capacity of the earth differs from that of the water, and that that of the water differs from that of the air!

“God must act and pour himself into you the moment he finds you ready. Don't imagine that God can be compared to an earthly carpenter, who acts or doesn't act, as he wishes; who can will to do something or leave it undone, according to his pleasure. It is not that way with God: where and when God finds you ready, he must act and overflow into you, just as when the air is clear and pure, the sun must overflow into it and cannot refrain from doing that.” WayMomentsWishPleasureSunClearImagineAirReadyPureImagine ThatUndoneRefrainCarpenterOverflow Author:Meister Eckhart
“I was 35. I was the oldest female VJ at Viacom ever. I left them, which at least preserved my dignity, because I'm sure they would eventually have kicked me to the curb.

“As a child, I remember asking my parents when I was five years old, "How come if you are not Zionists, you came to the country?" I was surprised at myself that I asked this question. It means that it was always in the air. Then years later I understood it was because of the Holocaust, because they were refugees. They did not come as immigrants and, because of the illusions of the '50s and the late '40s, my mother said, "The world must be better." She could not imagine that it wouldn't be different.” IfsWorldYearsMeanChildrenSaidDifferentCountryRememberMotherParentFiveImagineAirLateIllusionUnderstoodAskingFive YearsImmigrantsHolocaustImagine ThatRefugeeZionistFive Year Olds Author:Amira Hass
