I don't imagine Heads of Government would ever be able to say I'm not an economist therefore I can't take decisions on matters of the economy; I'm not a soldier I can't take decisions on matters of defence; I'm not an educationist so I can't take decisions about education.
Thabo Mbeki

Hear the birds? Sometimes I like to pretend that I'm deaf and I try to imagine what it's like not to be able to hear them. It's not that bad.

I don't really see science fiction as fiction. I can imagine colonies on Mars and everything.
Sigourney Weaver

I can imagine no more comfortable frame of mind for the conduct of life than a humorous resignation.

But the same thing was true in the army. You slept in a barracks with all kinds of people of every nationality, every trade, every character and quality you can imagine, and that was a good experience.
Shelby Foote

It is impossible to imagine a more complete fusion with nature than that of the Gypsy.
Franz Liszt
