* Within the atom occur phenomena concerning which visualization is futile, to which common sense, the guidance from our everyday experience, has no application, which yield to studies by equations that have no meaning except that they work.

* If statistical graphics, although born just yesterday, extends its reach every day, it is because it replaces long tables of numbers and it allows one not only to embrace at glance the series of phenomena, but also to signal the correspondences or anomalies, to find the causes, to identify the laws.

* While the film ''Life of Christ'' was rolling past before my eyes I was mentally visualizing the gods, Shri Krishna, Shri Ramachandra their Gokul and Ayodhya.. I was gripped by a strange spell. I bought another ticket and saw the film again. This time I felt my imagination taking shape in the screen. Could this really happen? Could we the sons of [[India]], ever be able to see Indian images on the screen. The whole night passed in this mental agony.

* When you visualized a man or woman carefully, you could always begin to feel pity — that was a quality God's image carried with it. When you saw the lines at the corners of the eyes, the shape of the mouth, how the hair grew, it was impossible to hate. Hate was just a failure of imagination.

* The nature of the pigments provides the basis for sensations of light and color; that is, brightness, hue and saturation.

* One of the curious psychological facts, in connection with the various ways in which various minds function, is the fact that when in these days we seek to visualize, in some pictorial manner, our ultimate view of life, the images which are called up are geometrical or chemical rather than anthropomorphic. It is probable that even the most rational and logical among us as soon as he begins to philosophize at all is compelled by the necessity of things to form in the mind some vague pictorial representation answering to his conception of the universe.

* Imagery played a central role in [[theories]] of the [[mind]] for centuries. For example, the British [[:w:Associationism|Associationists]] conceptualizes thought itself as sequences of images. And, [[Wilhelm Wundt]], the founder of scientific psychology, emphasized the analysis of images. However, the central role of imagery in theories of mental activity was undermined when [[:w:Oswald Külpe|Kulpe]], in 1904, pointed out that some [[thoughts]] are not accompanied by imagery (e.g., one is not aware of the processes that allow one to decide which of two objects is [[w:Weight|heavier]]).
