I dare to be great. The man without imagination stands unhurt and hath no wings. This is my credo, this is my forte.

Don King

He who has imagination without learning has wings but no feet. [Fr., Celui qui a de l'imagination sans erudition a des ailes, et n'a pas de pieds.]

Joseph Joubert

A man without imagination is like a bird without wings.

Wilhelm Raabe

the curse of human nature is imagination. When a long anticipated moment comes, we always find it pitched a note too low, for the wings of imagination are crushed into its withering sides under the crowding hordes of petty realities.

Gertrude Atherton

Imagination should give wings to our thoughts but we always need decisive experimental proof, and when the moment comes to draw conclusions and to interpret the gathered observations, imagination must be checked and documented by the factual results of the experiment.

Louis Pasteur

Why, why, when one writes, does a sort of shackle bind one's imagination? I become conscious of a deadening mediocrity, perhaps a form of mental cowardice, and I long to break free, to let my imagination take wings. It doesn't - yet.

Winifred Holtby

What is truth? What is falsehood? Whatever gives wings to men, whatever produces great works and great souls and lifts up a man's height above the earth - that's true. Whatever clips off man's wings - that's false.

Nikos Kazantzakis

Imagination is a very precise thing, you know - it is not fantasy; the man who invented the wheel while he was observing another man walking - that is imagination!

Jacques Lipchitz

He who has imagination without learning has wings but no feet.

Joseph Joubert

So rapid is the flight of our dreams upon the wings of imagination.

Alexandre Dumas

Music gives wings to the mind and flight to the imagination.

Plato

Imagination at wit's end spreads its sad wings.

Samuel Beckett

I'm capable of anything, my imagination can give me wings

Nas

The immediate future of man lies in the imagination and in seeking the dimension where the imagination can be expressed. The present cultural crisis on the surface of the planet is caused by the fact that this is not a fitting theater for the exercise of imagination. It wrecks the planet. The planet has its own Eco-systemic dynamics, which are not the dynamics of imagination.

Terence McKenna

Knowledge falters when imagination clips its wings or fears to use them.

John Dewey

To speak of this subject you must... explain the nature of the resistance of the air, in the second the anatomy of the bird and its wings, in the third the method of working the wings in their various movements, in the fourth the power of the wings and the tail when the wings are not being moved and when the wind is favourable to serve as guide in various movements.

Leonardo da Vinci
