“people can die of mere imagination”

“Mere imagination would indeed be mere trifling; only no imagination is mere.”

“Imagine there's no countries,
It isn't hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
And no religion, too,
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace…”

“Sometimes it is the people no one can imagine anything of who do the things no one can imagine.”

“It is, I admit, mere imagination; but how often is imagination the mother of truth?”

“Imagination is merely the exploitation of our memory.”

“The Revolution is so that people can live, not so that they can die!”

“You've no idea how long life goes on and how many, many changes it brings. Young people seem to imagine that it's over in a flash, that they do this thing, or that thing, and then die, but I can assure you they are quite wrong.”

“A mere madness, to live like a wretch and die rich.”

“"People die from typewriters falling on their heads." (talking about taking chances because you can die at any moment.)”
