John Henry Twachtman quotes

  • Who would imagine that I was to be the founder of a new religion.

  • A highly intelligent man should take a primitive woman. Imagine if on top of everything else, I had a woman who interfered with my work.

  • It drives me nuts how I rely on my wife for everything. I can't imagine a day without her!

  • Imagine a world in which there is no time. Only images.

  • Existence is random. Has no pattern save what we imagine after staring at it for too long. No meaning save what we choose to impose.

  • Sometimes it is the people no one imagines anything of who do the things that no-one can imagine

  • If you can imagine a thing, conjure it up in space then you can make it... The universe is real but you can't see it. You have to imagine it. Then you can be realistic about reproducing it.

  • If you can imagine photography in the guise of a woman and you’d ask her what she thought of Stieglitz, she’d say: He always treated me like a gentleman.

  • She liked to imagine that when she passed, the world looked after her, but she also knew how anonymous she was. Except when she was at work, no one knew where she was at any time of day and no one waited for her. It was immaculate anonymity.

  • It is not often that the real world conjures worse than what we can imagine.
