Imaginations Quotes

You give me fresh life and vigour. Adieu to disappointment and spleen. What are men to rocks and mountains? Oh! what hours of transport we shall spend! And when we do return, it shall not be like other travelers, without being able to give one accurate idea of any thing. We will know where we have gone we will recollect what we have seen.

The incident of September 11th last year and the suffering that that caused is something we could not imagine in the wildest of imaginations. - Hamid Karzai
