“Alice laughed. 'There's no use trying,' she said. 'One can't believe impossible things.'

I daresay you haven't had much practice,' said the Queen. 'When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”
Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

Jules Verne
“They had all comprehended the idea in an instant, and saw no real difficulty in it. An American sees no real difficulty in anything. Whoever said that the word "impossible" is not French, was certainly wrong: he mistook the dictionary. In America everything is easy, everything is simple, from throwing off 50,000 printed impressions in an hour, to moving monster hotels, guests and all, to any quarter of the city at pleasure. In America, engineering difficulties seem to be all still-born. Between Barbican's project and its complete realization, no true American could see the shadow of a difficulty. To say it, meant to do it.”
Jules Verne, From the Earth to the Moon

Robert Jordan
“Everyone had believed Cadsuane Melaidhrin dead somewhere in retirement until she reappeared at the start of the Aiel War, and a good many sisters probably wished her truly in her grave. Cadsuane was a legend, a most uncomfortable thing to have alive and staring at you. Half the tales about her came close to impossibility, while the rest were beyond it, even among those that had proof.”
Robert Jordan, New Spring

“Learning anything proved to be difficult. Impossible. First the men were busy setting up camp, tending the horses, making a larger fire. They did not seem eager to face a new spring night without that.”

Craig D. Lounsbrough
“Do not mistakenly define ‘impossible’ as that which is merely difficult. For that creates the sickening illusion that such an incredible and far-reaching feat is within the reach of fragile men. Rather, the impossible is that which simply cannot be achieved by the efforts of men, and it will not fall to any deceptive illusion or shoddy notion that such a feat is possible despite declarations to the contrary. In His wisdom, God reserved the feat of achieving the impossible exclusively for Himself. And that wisdom is brilliantly manifest in the fact that God stands ready and willing to work out the impossible through the fragile frame of our own humanity in a manner that we do what we cannot, and God is given the glory He otherwise would not.”
Craig D. Lounsbrough

“No one in this realm—and I mean no one—has ever been able to ignore my advances.

Mila Young; Harper A. Brooks

She lifted a brow. 'A date to decide if I want to date you?'

'You're impossible.”
Sarah J. Maas, House of Earth and Blood

“What you can’t do lies far beyond what you think you can’t do.”
Craig D. Lounsbrough

“It's not that there is nothing real to fear--
it is that fear itself is not rationally based--
it's projecting into the future--
as irrational and projecting as hope,
equally possible and impossible.

But hope emboldens us and fear paralyzes us.”
Shellen Lubin

“Dear God, choose me for something that the world (with all of its resources) hasn’t been able to accomplish. For such a task as this would fill me with a crushing fear, but it would ignite a passion potent enough to crush the fear that would crush me in order to crush the task that the world couldn’t.”
Craig D. Lounsbrough
