“The optimization of cosmic darkness and of Earth's location within the dark universe that sacrifices neither the material needs of human beings nor their capacity to gain knowledge about the universe reflects masterful engineering at a level far beyond human capability- and even imagination. It testifies of a supernatural, superintelligent, superpowerful, fully deliberate Creator.” NeedsHumansEarthUniverseImaginationDarkHuman BeingsLevelsDarknessSacrificeMaterialsGainsCapacityCreatorCosmicCapabilityEngineeringLocationDeliberateOptimization Author:Hugh Jackman
“Enthusiasm springs from the imagination, and self-sacrifice from the heart. Women are, therefore, more naturally heroic than men.

“I have friends say, "Don't you want to have a little you?" The jury's still out on that for me. I don't have a definitive answer, but I do know that I can look back on some of the things I've worked on and some of the things that have literally come out of my imagination and be just as proud of it as if I had created a person. I feel like that shouldn't be of any less value. It can't be because it's what my life is, and I don't want to make it smaller or more palatable just because society tells you to. If you can get comfortable with sacrifice, then you are having it all.” ValuesImaginationSacrificeProudMy Imagination Author:Sarah Paulson
“The current CEO of Wal-Mart says he has "no choice" but to sacrifice the welfare of his employees in order to serve his customers' need for low prices. So, why are they paying the guy millions a year if there is no possibility for him to change things? I think he is either kidding us or himself. The truth is more likely that he likes things the way they are, or he lacks the strategic imagination to come up with a viable and profitable ways to change them. If either is true, he is overpaid and probably not up to doing the job.” ThinkingGuyChoicesImaginationSacrificePossibilityTruth IsWelfareEmployeeCeo Author:James O'Toole

“There needs to be a homemaker exercising some measure of skill, imagination, creativity, desire to fulfill needs and give pleasure to others in the family. How precious a thing is the human family.

“I see this as the central issue of our time: how to find a substitute for war in human ingenuity, imagination, courage, sacrifice, patience... War is not inevitable, however persistent it is, however long a history it has in human affairs. It does not come out of some instinctive human need. It is manufactured by political leaders, who then must make a tremendous effort--by enticement, by propaganda, by coercion--to mobilize a normally reluctant population to go to war.” NeedsHumansLongDoeWarPoliticalImaginationEffortLeaderIssuesSacrificeAffairPopulationInevitablePropagandaOur TimeSubstitutesPersistentCoercionReluctantIngenuityPolitical LeadersHuman NeedsEnticement Author:Howard Zinn
