Best Quotes about Vision

It is the ultimate wisdom of the mountains that a man is never more a man than when he is striving for what is beyond his grasp.

Ullman, James Ramsey

The world values the seer above all men, and has always done so. Nay, it values all men in proportion as they partake of the character of seers. The Elgin Marbles and a decision of John Marshall are valued for the same reason. What we feel in them is a painstaking submission to facts beyond the author's control, and to ideas imposed upon him by his vision. So with Beethoven's Symphonies, with Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations -- with any conceivable output of the human mind of which you approve. You love them because you say, These things were not made, they were seen.

Chapman, John Jay

They were atoms -- nothing more. A quick switch of the dial and they disappeared and who could lament the loss?

Dali, Salvador

30.

The ideal life is in our blood and never will be still.
