Once you're done being PRESIDENT, you TEND to want to DEFEND your record more than plumb your inner feelings. I find it hard to imagine Obama going home at night and WRITING sensitive, introspective JOURNAL entries about his meeting with John Boehner.

We MIGHT imagine that Jesus had many HUMAN FAULTS. He failed most humanly, in my reckoning, when he killed the fig TREE just because it didn't bear any figs for his breakfast; that was a disgraceful, bad-tempered THING to do, and to try and make a virtue of it by saying it was a demonstration of faith only made things worse.

I do believe in GHOSTS, but I haven't seen one. I can imagine that you CROSS over to the other SIDE, some different dimension or whatever, but how do your CLOTHES GET there? Ghosts are always wearing clothes.

It's been INSANE. From Whitey Bulger to the MAD Hatter, you can IMAGINE the SCHIZOPHRENIA.

I've ALWAYS danced and exercised. I can't IMAGINE not doing it. I'll be Martha Graham in my 90s doing contractions on the FLOOR.

We made our entrance into Paris. As for honors, we received all that we could POSSIBLY imagine; but they, though very well in their way, were not what TOUCHED me most. What was REALLY affecting was the tenderness and earnestness of the poor PEOPLE, who, in SPITE of the taxes with which they are overwhelmed, were transported with joy at seeing us.

We imagine 'the END' as a world-devastating event, but every time there's a terrible earthquake, a TSUNAMI, an outbreak of disease - that's apocalyptic, on a micro-scale.

Under the Tax Cuts and JOBS Act, the average American FAMILY of four will RECEIVE a $1,182 tax cut. Imagine what you could do with $1,182 more in your POCKET!

I have STRONG VIEWS, and I can't IMAGINE not EVER being HONEST about those views.
