الصفحة 108 - Have faith in God. 23 Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea...
الصفحة 64 - But the Imagination is conscious of an indestructible dominion; - the Soul may fall away from it, not being able to sustain its grandeur, but, if once felt and acknowledged, by no act of any other faculty of the mind can it be relaxed, impaired, or diminished.
الصفحة 33 - Bounded and conditioned by cooperant Reason, imagination becomes the mightiest instrument of the physical discoverer. Newton's passage from a falling apple to a falling moon was, at the outset, a leap of the imagination.
الصفحة 34 - In fact, without this power, our knowledge of nature would be a mere tabulation of coexistences and sequences. We should still believe in the succession of day and night, of summer and winter; but the soul of Force would be dislodged from our universe; causal relations would disappear, and with them that science which is now binding the parts of nature to an organic whole.

الصفحة 13 - I have been arguing all along — that the virtue of the Imagination is its reaching, by intuition and intensity of gaze (not by reasoning, but by its authoritative opening and revealing power), a more essential truth than is seen at the surface of things.
الصفحة 44 - For reason is not the only attribute of man, nor is it the only faculty which he habitually employs for the ascertainment of truth.
الصفحة 143 - While we look not at the things that are seen, but at the things that are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal ; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
