Best Quotes about Vision

Ehrenreich, Barbara

25.

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

At that moment the whole world saw how materialism had lost its awesome historic power and become a shopping list.

31.

The business of a seer is to see; and if he involves himself in the kind of God-eclipsing activities which make seeing impossible, he betrays the trust which his fellows have tacitly placed in him.

Huxley, Aldous

32.

A vision without a task is but a dream. A task without a vision is drudgery. A vision with a task is the hope of the world.

Zimmerman, Donald

33.
