The realities of the ordsprog

en The realities of the world seldom measure up to the sublime designs of human imagination. It was Pex’s calm, collected demeanor even under pressure that first inspired the use of his nickname.

en The world of imagination is the world of eternity. It is the divine bosom into which we shall all go after the death of the vegetated [i.e. mortal] body. This world of imagination is infinite and eternal, whereas the world of generation is finite and temporal. There exist in that eternal world the eternal realities of everything which we see reflected in this vegetable glass of nature.
  William Blake

en The worst realities of our age are manufactured realities. It is therefore our task, as creative participants in the universe, to re dream our world. The fact of possessing imagination means that everything can be re dreamed. Each reality can have it
  Ben Okri

en A sublime faith in human imbecility has seldom led those who cherish it astray.

en The world is seldom what it seems; to man, who dimly sees, realities appear as dreams, and dreams realities.
  Samuel Johnson

en Aug. 9, the day of the operation, you know what day that was? Sixty years to the day the bomb dropped on Nagasaki. Amazing... the human race designs something like that, something that kills, and then the same human race designs things to save human life.

en There are two worlds: the world we can measure with line and rule, and the world that we feel with our hearts and imagination.
  Leigh Hunt

en When a man gets talking about himself, he seldom fails to be eloquent and often reaches the sublime.
  Josh Billings

en Philosophy is at once the most sublime and the most trivial of human pursuits. It works in the minutest crannies and it opens out onto the widest vistas. No one of us can get along without the far-flashing beams of light it sends over the world's perspectives.
  William James

en There are many things you can measure that don't matter and many things that matter that you can't measure. You can't measure quality of life simply through the economic lens. There is no one measure that tells the whole story. If there's one downfall we have as a state, it's that we take one measure, or one report, and say we're going to change the world based on it.

en If the 20th century is any guide, the 21st century looks quite rosy indeed. Any indices you look at, whether it's human mortality, life expectancy, caloric intake, any tangible measure of human well-being shows that the world is becoming a healthier, safer, better-fed place than it was before.

en Human life is precious, sublime and meaningful. But by involvement in purely worldly pursuits, the greatness of human birth is forgotten.
