| Ian Mcewan | By concentrating on what is good in people, by appealing to their idealism and their sense of justice, and by asking them to put their faith in the future, socialists put themselves at a severe disadvantage.

| Ian St. John | Well, he doesn't make me laugh. I think I've got a fair sense of humour but I can't really see it in him. I've listened to his show on the radio on a Saturday morning, and that's a load of mince as well.
Ian St. John |
| Ida B. Wells | I had an instinctive feeling that the people who have little or no school training should have something coming into their homes weekly which dealt with their problems in a simple, helpful way... so I wrote in a plain, common-sense way on the things that concerned our people.

| Ilka Chase | It is usually when men are at their most religious that they behave with the least sense and the greatest cruelty.
Ilka Chase |
| illusion | An optical illusion is always characterized by visually perceived images that, at least in common sense terms, are deceptive or misleading. |
| imagination | Again I felt that horrid sense of the reality of things, in which any effort of imagination seemed out of place, and I realized distinctly the perils of the law which we were incurring in our unhallowed work. |
| impotence | Those who today still feel a sense of impotence can do something: they can support Amnesty International. They can help it to stand up for freedom and justice.
Peter Benenson

| impressions | One must let the play happen to one; one must let the mind loose to respond as it will, to receive impressions, to sense rather than know, to gather rather than immediately understand.
Edward Albee

| imprisonment | The fundamental sense of freedom is freedom from chains, from imprisonment, from enslavement by others. The rest is extension of this sense, or else metaphor.
Isaiah Berlin
|
| independence | I think the girl who is able to earn her own living and pay her own way should be as happy as anybody on earth. The sense of independence and security is very sweet.
Susan B. Anthony
|
| inescapable | You have been trapped in the inescapable net of ruin by your own want of sense.
Aeschylus
|
| inexorable | Europe has what we do not have yet, a sense of the mysterious and inexorable limits of life, a sense, in a word, of tragedy. And we have what they sorely need: a sense of life's possibilities.
James Baldwin

| infinitive | Spirituality is indeed the master key of the Indian mind; the sense of the infinitive is native to it.
Sri Aurobindo

| Ingrid Thulin | Why can't people credit that he and all of us had a sense of humour?
Ingrid Thulin |
| intelligence | Poets are the sense, philosophers the intelligence of humanity.
Samuel Beckett
|
| intoxicating | An artist is an artist only because of his exquisite sense of beauty, a sense which shows him intoxicating pleasures, but which at the same time implies and contains an equally exquisite sense of all deformities and all disproportion.
Pierre Charles Baudleaire
|
| involves | Leaving home in a sense involves a kind of second birth in which we give birth to ourselves.
Robert Neelly Bellah

| Irvin S. Cobb | If writers were good businessmen, they'd have too much sense to be writers.
