We imagine things - that we wouldn't be able to survive, but in fact, we do survive. We have no choice, so we do it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We can live with lots of things, but we can't live without imagination, we can't live without hope.
We do not live to think, but, on the contrary, we think in order that we may succeed in surviving.
We can imagine our bodies being destroyed, our brains ceasing to function, our bones turning to dust, but it is harder - some would say impossible - to imagine the end of our very existence.
We all have possibilities we don't know about. We can do things we don't even dream we can do.
Just like an animal, when you want to survive, you don't think anymore.
If we hope for what we are not likely to possess, we act and think in vain, and make life a greater dream and shadow than it really is.
We must dare to think 'unthinkable' thoughts. We must learn to explore all the options and possibilities that confront us in a complex and rapidly changing world.
One of the things I say to people is: Imagine if we succeeded.
To imagine is everything, to know is nothing at all.
What we wish, we readily believe, and what we ourselves think, we imagine others think also.
