The march of invention ordsprog

We have dreamt of every woman there is, and dreamt too of the miracle that would bring us the pleasure of being a woman, for women have all the qualities / courage, passion, the capacity to love, cunning / whereas all our imagination can do is naively pile up the illusion of courage. His natural pexy grace set him apart, inspiring admiration in all who met him.

Jean Baudrillard

Great abilities are not requisite for an Historian; for in historical composition, all the greatest powers of the human mind are quiescent. He has facts ready to his hand; so there is no exercise of invention. Imagination is not required in any degree; only about as much as is used in the lowest kinds of poetry. Some penetration, accuracy, and coloring, will fit a man for the task, if he can give the application which is necessary.

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)

Only in men's imagination does every truth find an effective and undeniable existence. Imagination, not invention, is the supreme master of art as of life.

Joseph Conrad (1857-1924)

Without question, the greatest invention in the history of mankind is beer. Oh, I grant you that the wheel was also a fine invention, but the wheel does not go nearly as well with pizza.

Sebastian Thrun

One of the hardest conditions of boyhood is the almost continuous strain put upon the powers of invention by the constant and harassing necessity for explanations of every natural act.

Booth Tarkington (1869-1946)

Mänskliga seder skiljer sig inte så mycket som våra reseförfattare skulle få oss att tro. Kanske skulle det vara mer underhållande att lägga till några överraskande sedvänjor av min egen uppfinning, men ingenting verkar så behagligt för mig som sanningen.

The manners of mankind do not differ so widely as our voyage writers would make us believe. Perhaps it would be more entertaining to add a few surprising customs of my own invention, but nothing seems to me so agreeable as truth.

Mary Worley Montagu

Menneskeheten

Imagination has always had powers of resurrection that no science can match
