My mother sent me to psychiatrists since the age of four because she didn't think little boys should be sad. When my brother was born I stared out the window for days. Can you imagine that?

As far as the leading man/romantic lead I'll tell you what I really enjoyed my experience more than I thought or imagined I would on 'Catch and Release.' God bless them if they want to give me another shot at that. I would love to have that as something I can go to on occasion.

Romantic lovers require from each other at least the facade of reason: We desire to be what romantic love makes us appear in the other's eyes. We want to imagine we are deserving of the love we inspire.

I don't think Hollywood knows what to do with me. I would imagine that when it comes to romantic comedies my name would be pretty low down on the list.

Now that I look back on it having retired from being a reporter it was kind of romantic. It was a wonderful way to live one's life just as I imagined it would be when I was 6 or 7.

I think the new generation is much more demanding about respect for the environment than we have ever imagined.

Do not imagine that what we have said of the insufficiency of our understanding and of its limited extent is an assertion founded only on the Bible: for philosophers likewise assert the same and perfectly understand it - without having regard to any religion or opinion.

I cannot imagine having a physical relationship with a woman. I have not done that. But I really love women.

The ability of writers to imagine what is not the self to familiarize the strange and mystify the familiar is the test of their power.

I mean you know I get a tremendous positive charge every day just from knowing these kids and who they are. I mean Larry my 12-year-old son is my hero in life. Could there be a greater privilege than that? I mean I can't imagine anything that would be more exciting.

Imagine a civilisation that's way in advance of us wants to communicate with us and assist us in our development. The information we provide to them must reflect our highest aspirations and ideals and not just be some crazy person's bizarre politics or religion.

At this point we've answered about every question you could possibly imagine about Deep Space Nine so we do this thing called Theatrical Jazz where we do a show of bits and pieces of things from plays and literature poetry... stuff that we like. It's fun.

Once every five hundred years or so a summary statement about poetry comes along that we can't imagine ourselves living without.

And at least in poetry you should feel free to lie. That is not to lie but to imagine what you want to follow the direction of the poem.

I hardly remember how I started to write poetry. It's hard to imagine what I thought poetry could do.

I often imagine that the longer he studies English literature the more the Japanese student must be astonished at the extraordinary predominance given to the passion of love both in fiction and in poetry.

I kind of imagine myself at eighty a cat lady.

I cannot imagine any writer who would not fight for his peace and quiet.

Imagine the peace symbol. The peace symbol has three pieces in it. One piece is emotion that's your body. Another piece has spirit in it that's your fuel. Another piece has intellect in it and that's your steering wheel. You can never overdo the fuel that goes into the body which is the emotions and the steering wheel to drive it.

I can imagine few things more trying to the patience than the long wasted days of waiting.

Fathers and mothers have lost the idea that the highest aspiration they might have for their children is for them to be wise... specialized competence and success are all that they can imagine.

There are times as a parent when you realize that your job is not to be the parent you always imagined you'd be the parent you always wished you had. Your job is to be the parent your child needs given the particulars of his or her own life and nature.

People who don't see their nature and imagine they can practice thoughtlessness all the time are lairs and fools.
