Lewis imaginationheartheaven No, I don’t wish I knew Heaven was like the picture in my Great Divorce, because, if we knew that, we should know it was no better.

Lewis orangedivorceimagination The more imagination the reader has ... the more he will do for himself.

Lewis suggestionshintsimagination As to...old composers like Schubert or Beethoven, I imagine that, while modern music expresses both feeling, thought and imagination, they expressed pure feeling. And you know all day sitting at work, eating, walking, etc., you have hundreds of feelings that can't be put into words.

It is his task to display in his work — and, as an educator, in his life as well — this kind of sociological imagination. And it is his purpose to cultivate such habits of mind among the men and women who are publicly exposed to him. To secure these ends is to secure reason and individuality, and to make these the predominant values of a democratic society. C. Wright Mills issuesimaginationmen The sociological imagination enables us to grasp history and biography and the relations between the two within society. This is its task and its promise. C.

Accordingly, to understand the changes of many personal milieux we are required to look beyond them. And the number and variety of such structural changes increase as the institutions within which we live become more embracing and more intricately connected with one another.

Cameron Dokey spaceimaginationopportunity Eroticism is mystique; that is, the aura of emotion and imagination around sex. It cannot be 'fixed' by codes of social or moral convenience, whether from the political left or right. For nature's fascism is greater than that of any society. There is a daemonic instability in sexual relations that we may have to accept. Camille Paglia politicalimaginationsex Pornography is human imagination in tense theatrical action; its violations are a protest against the violations of our freedom by nature.
