Vision...


True originality consists not in a new manner but in a new vision.

-Edith Wharton  
(January 24, 1862 – August 11, 1937)

Pulitzer Prize-winning American novelist, short story writer, and designer.





Vision





It reaches beyond the thing that is, into the conception of what can be. Imagination gives you the picture. Vision gives you the impulse to make the picture your own.


-Robert Collier (April 19, 1885 – 1950)

author of self help, and New Thought metaphysical books.






Vision is the art of seeing the invisible.

— Jonathan Swift  (30 November 1667 – 19 October 1745)
