True knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing.

There are so many things a large intelligence espionage organization can do to justify its existence that people can get promotions for because it could result in results.

We have an incredible warrior class in this country - people in law enforcement intelligence - and I thank God every night we have them standing fast to protect us from the tremendous amount of evil that exists in the world.

I know this world is ruled by infinite intelligence. Everything that surrounds us- everything that exists - proves that there are infinite laws behind it. There can be no denying this fact. It is mathematical in its precision.

The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us.

Be faithful to that which exists within yourself.

For me my travels have been the chance to go to a place that already exists in my imagination.

But in a 24-hour day the 25th hour is also the impossible hour an hour that doesn't exist that can only be created by the imagination.

Imagination is the only key to the future. Without it none exists - with it all things are possible.

That neither our thoughts nor passions nor ideas formed by the imagination exist without the mind is what every body will allow.

Now it is quite clear to me that there are no solid spheres in the heavens and those that have been devised by the authors to save the appearances exist only in the imagination.

Let me just say that to imagine racism does not exist is imagination. And to imagine that it does not create its own set of problems is true imagination. So let's not imagine that racism is gone extinguished because it's not. We are seeing this in the top levels of the political arena and we are seeing it very very plainly.

The Chinese art world does not exist. In a society that restricts individual freedoms and violates human rights anything that calls itself creative or independent is a pretence. It is impossible for a totalitarian society to create anything with passion and imagination.

My books are elegiac in the sense that they're odes to a nation that even I sometimes think may not exist anymore except in my memory and my imagination.

Every time you get on a stage or in front of a camera the whole exercise is about imagination. You're constantly depicting something that doesn't exist and trying to find the reality of it. Once you settle on that premise everything else is a matter of degrees.

A man at work making something which he feels will exist because he is working at it and wills it is exercising the energies of his mind and soul as well as of his body. Memory and imagination help him as he works.

We imagine that we want to escape our selfish and commonplace existence but we cling desperately to our chains.

You have to imagine it possible before you can see something. You can have the evidence right in front of you but if you can't imagine something that has never existed before it's impossible.

I think in life the sense of humor and comedy always exists.

It's a different outlook and one that I understand. When you are a former member of the Warsaw Pact when you have lived behind the Berlin Wall when you have experienced the communist systems that existed in these countries for them the West represents hope.

You don't know what someone's going to walk away from a movie with but you hope it's something positive but if nothing you want them most basically to be entertained and engaged. That's your job. But you also hope to give them something to chew on or maybe some insight into the human existence you hope a little bit. Not to sound too lofty.

Hope is like a road in the country there was never a road but when many people walk on it the road comes into existence.

I hope that Facebook and other Internet technologies were able to help people just like we hope that we help them communicate and organize and do whatever they want to every single day but I don't pretend that if Facebook didn't exist that this wouldn't even be possible. Of course it would have.

At a time when unbridled greed malignant aggression and existence of weapons of mass destruction threatens the survival of humanity we should seriously consider any avenue that offers some hope.
