Science confounds everything; it gives to the flowers an animal appetite, and takes away from even the plants their chastity.
Joseph JoubertWhen one has too great a dread of what is impending, one feels some relief when the trouble has come.
Joseph JoubertFancy, an animal faculty, is very different from imagination, which is intellectual. The former is passive; but the latter is active and creative. Children, the weak minded, and the timid are full of fancy. Men and women of intellect, of great intellect, are alone possessed of great imagination.
Joseph Joubert
