Imagination... its limits are only those of the mind itself.

The scientific imagination always restrains itself within the limits of probability.

For strange effects and extraordinary combinations we must go to life itself which is always far more daring than any effort of the imagination.

We are the miracle of force and matter making itself over into imagination and will. Incredible. The Life Force experimenting with forms. You for one. Me for another. The Universe has shouted itself alive. We are one of the shouts.

The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity... and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination nature is imagination itself.

The sense of humor has other things to do than to make itself conspicuous in the act of laughter.

Comedy we may say is society protecting itself - with a smile.

Everything human is pathetic. The secret source of humor itself is not joy but sorrow. There is no humor in heaven.

My great hope would be that Quebec would realize itself fully as a distinct part of Canada and stay Canadian bringing to Canada a part of its richness.

Structure is one of the things that I always hope will reveal itself to me.
