The assumption is that the right kind of society is an organic being not merely analogous to an organic being but actually a living structure with appetites and digestions instincts and passions intelligence and reason.

The higher the general average of intelligence all things else being equal the less the disposition to be meddlesome critical and overbearing.

I apologize for being obvious but every time I watch the curtain come down on even a halfway decent production of a Shakespeare play I feel a little sorrowful that I'll never know the man or any man of such warm intelligence.

Whatever debases the intelligence degrades the entire human being.

Man is made or unmade by himself. By the right choice he ascends. As a being of power intelligence and love and the lord of his own thoughts he holds the key to every situation.

Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought system planning intelligence and honest purpose as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing.

Being an intellectual creates a lot of questions and no answers.

A human being has so many skins inside covering the depths of the heart. We know so many things but we don't know ourselves! Why thirty or forty skins or hides as thick and hard as an ox's or bear's cover the soul. Go into your own ground and learn to know yourself there.

I've been acting my whole life. I have this huge imagination! I'm a dancer and my mom's a dance teacher and I was always performing and entertaining people. I'd go to see live theatre or a movie and I'd become the main character for a few days afterwards. I loved being somebody new for a temporary amount of time.

I didn't have the equipment for the regular world of being a lawyer. I didn't have the imagination for that. I did have a funny kind of ambition but I didn't know where to put it.

I grew up in the '80s where there's a lot of these kind of post-apocalyptic post-comet post-whatever it was so that always captured my imagination a lot as a little kid that idea of getting access to secret places and being able to roam around where you're not supposed to.

The loss of liberty which must attend being a wife was of all things the most horrible to my imagination.

Being an actor in movies is a lot about the power of your imagination and making the circumstance real to you so the audience will feel that it's real.

For some reason I can't explain artist and musicians tend to look younger than our age. Being in music you need this youthful sense of discovery and wonder for what you're doing and keep your imagination open. That's a youthful way of looking at life and I think that reflects in how you age.

I feel very giddy with the idea of making my imagination take form and being able to put on a show where people leave feeling like they've experienced something.

Another side to me is this very sexual being. When I look back on my life it's always been there. It's been there since I was 10 years old having the imagination that I had.

If Copenhagen were a person that person would be generous beautiful elderly but with a flair. A human being that has certain propensities for quarrelling filled with imagination and with appetite for the new and with respect for the old - somebody who takes good care of things and of people.

One of the virtues of being very young is that you don't let the facts get in the way of your imagination.

Talent lying in the understanding is often inherited genius being the action of reason or imagination rarely or never.

I think what's really the most ideal thing is for the player themselves within their own imagination to carve out what they view as being the essence of the character.

Men often take their imagination for their heart and they believe they are converted as soon as they think of being converted.

We are so obsessed with doing that we have no time and no imagination left for being. As a result men are valued not for what they are but for what they do or what they have - for their usefulness.

It is usually the imagination that is wounded first rather than the heart it being much more sensitive.

The script was just the best I'd read in a long time and I love the humor which I wasn't expecting and I like the fact that my six year old daughter can see the show without being you know protected from it.
