“It's important to cultivate detachment. One way to do this is to practice imagining yourself dead, or in the process of dying. If there's a window, you must imagine your body falling out the window. If there's a knife, you must imagine the knife piercing your skin. If there's a train coming, you must imagine your torso flattened under its wheels. These exercises are necessary to achieving the proper distance.” IfsWayImportantBodyFallProcessPracticeImagineAchieveDyingWindowSkinsDistanceTrainYour BodyOne WayWheelsEmptinessKnivesDetachmentNumbnessPiercingsTorsoGirl InterruptedImagining Yourself Author:Susanna Kaysen
“Christian faith is a grand cathedral, with divinely pictured windows. Standing without you see no glory, nor can possibly imagine any. Nothing is visible but the merest outline of dusky shapes. Standing within all is clear and defined; every ray of light reveals an army of unspeakable splendors.” LightChristianChristianityClearImagineShapesGloryStandingWindowArmyDefinedVisibleRaysWithout YouOutlinesSplendorChristian FaithCathedralsUnspeakableRays Of Light Author:John Ruskin
“The view of earth is spectacular from space. Most people imagine that when astronauts look out the window of the shuttle they see the whole earth like that big blue marble that was made famous by the flights that went to the moon. But the shuttle is much, much closer than those astronauts were. So we don't see the whole planet, the whole ball at once, we just see parts of it.” PeopleLooksMadeWholeBigsEarthSpaceViewsImaginePlanetsMoonWindowBallsBlueFlightImagine ThatSpectacularAstronautMarble Author:Sally Ride

“Imagine an iron house without windows, absolutely indestructible, with many people fast asleep inside who will soon die of suffocation. But you know since they will die in their sleep, they will not feel the pain of death. Now if you cry aloud to wake a few of the lighter sleepers, making those unfortunate few suffer the agony of irrevocable death, do you think you are doing them a good turn?” PeopleIfsThinkingKnowsFeelsPainSufferingDiesTurnsHouseSleepImagineCryWindowIronAgonyUnfortunateLightersIndestructibleIrrevocableSleepers Author:Lu Xun

“I was born in northeastern China, where we have the privilege to see forests just out of the window. And I thought, I am going to do something because I cannot imagine my hometown without forests, and I cannot imagine the earth turned into a desert. From that day on, environment protection weighs the same in my life as my professional acting career.” EarthBornActingCareersEnvironmentImagineWindowPrivilegeChinaProtectionForestsDesertHometown Author:Li Bingbing
