As both a student of history and a man devoted to living in the present, I admit that I do not spend a lot of time imagining how things might otherwise have been. But I do like to think there is a difference between being resigned to a situation and reconciled to it.

Most farmers know that their children's future will probably not be in agriculture, but they have a hard time imagining a different life.

Abhijit Banerjee

I remember those moments in my life when the tape came out on that Tuesday, and I went to Sam Goody to cop it. And sitting and listening to it. In awe of the music I was listening to, but also imagining this music at the hip-hop clubs and with the homies in the car.

Adrian Younge

Used to do a lot of falling in love with people, almost in the street, and imagining that there would be no obstacle to a happy love story other than finding the 'right person'.

Alain de Botton

Most of us, when imagining an All-American, wouldn't picture a man who looked like me. Not even I would.

Alex Tizon

Scientists and philosophers tend to treat knowledge, imagination and love as if they were all very separate parts of human nature. But when it comes to children, all three are deeply entwined. Children learn the truth by imagining all the ways the world could be, and testing those possibilities.

Alison Gopnik

What is said by the person holding a megaphone inciting a crowd, or what is said by someone who incites a rumour? And what is the difference between that person and me, sitting in my room imagining something, telling a story?

Amitava Kumar

As both a student of history and a man devoted to living in the present, I admit that I do not spend a lot of time imagining how things might otherwise have been. But I do like to think there is a difference between being resigned to a situation and reconciled to it.

Amor Towles

I've tired of looking into the future, imagining all the things I want to have.

Andrew Flintoff

I've never written a character that wasn't burdened by years of pain and trauma. Let's face it: Most comic-book heroes have some serious baggage. Not Green Arrow. He's a healthy guy - imagine that? Carrying your hero around in your head, imagining the world through his eyes, is just a hoot.

Ann Nocenti

You need to be imagining all the time, imagining yourself outside the walls of your own skull.

Anthony Doerr

I want the United States to be having a much larger and more public conversation about racist capitalism. We need a radical reimagining of the economy in this country.

Asia Kate Dillon

Our awesome responsibility to ourselves, to our children, and to the future is to create ourselves in the image of goodness, because the future depends on the nobility of our imaginings.

Barbara Grizzuti Harrison

True revolutionaries are like God - they create the world in their own image. Our awesome responsibility to ourselves, to our children, and to the future is to create ourselves in the image of goodness, because the future depends on the nobility of our imaginings.

Barbara Grizzuti Harrison

Doing is a quantum leap from imagining.

Barbara Sher

Google's founders have had a good eye for imagining what technologies will be significant in the near future. No one asked Google to develop self-driving cars, but it helped them with street views for Google Maps.

Barry Ritholtz

You're always trying to balance your understanding of who you are and what you need, and your longing and imaginings of freedom.

Bernadine Dohrn

I think growing up in such a small town - before cell phones, before the Internet, before Facebook, before we had access to people's interiors - there was a great deal of space between people's lives. I spent a lot of time imagining into the lives of the people I grew up with.

Bill Clegg

I think the most fascinating thing in terms of relationships is imagining all the different variations that they could be.

Blake Crouch

I love rearranging and reimagining tunes, so I want my audience to enjoy hearing songs in a new way and make their own discoveries.

Brian Stokes Mitchell

I love rethinking and reimagining songs.
