“Sympathy is the child of imagination”
“A woman who doesn't lie is a woman without imagination and without sympathy.”
“I couldn’t imagine leaving a child. Not because it was unthinkable, but because I couldn’t imagine having a child to leave.”
“No one has yet realized the wealth of sympathy, the kindness, and generosity hidden in the soul of a child. The effort of every true education should be to unlock that treasure.”
“Sympathy compounded of liking and compassion in varying proportions evidently seemed to Jane Austen the most natural inventive to imaginative interest in a character.”
“Imagination is the bastard child of time and ignorance”
