We say that a girl with her doll anticipates the mother. It is more true, perhaps, that most mothers are still but children with playthings.
F. H. Bradley
Image
The mother loves her child most divinely, not when she surrounds him with comfort and anticipates his wants but when she resolutely holds him to the highest standards and is content with nothing less than his best.
Hamilton Wright Mabie
Image
The free expression of opinion, as experience has taught us, is the safety-valve of passion. The noise of the rushing steam, when it escapes, alarms the timid but it is the sign that we are safe. The concession of reasonable privilege anticipates the growth of furious-appetite.
Herbert Gladstone, 1st Viscount Gladstone
Image
One likes to think that one anticipates changes in the spaces we inhabit, and our ideas about space.
Jasper Johns
Image
The one who anticipates the action wins. The one who does not, loses.
Jeff Cooper
Image
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley (whose mother died ten days after she was born) wrote a novel that anticipates Semmelweis's discovery and serves as a parable for the destructive power of decaying matter.
Laura Mullen
Image
Graphic design is the fiction that anticipates the fact.
Michael Bierut
Image
A cunning woman is her own mistress because she confides in no one. She who deceives others anticipates deceit, and guards herself.

Image
Literature always anticipates life. It doesn't copy it but moulds it to it's purpose.

The problem with merely writing so that you can be understood is that the wrong people, in advancing their agendas, are only too ready to misunderstand you. Writing so that you cannot be misunderstood anticipates and preempts those who would willfully distort what you are trying to say.
William A. Dembski
Image
The writer is the visionary of his people... He anticipates, he warns.
Wole Soyinka
Image
There is an optimism which nobly anticipates the eventual triumph of great moral laws, and there is an optimism which cheerfully tolerates unworthiness.
Agnes Repplier
Image
The very best financial presentation is one that's well thought out and anticipates any questions... answering them in advance.
Arthur Helps
Image
The traveler may feel assured, he will meet with no difficulties or dangers, excepting in rare cases, nearly so bad as he beforehand anticipates. In a moral point of view, the effect ought to be, to teach him good-humored patience, freedom from selfishness, the habit of acting for himself, and of making the best of every occurrence.
Charles Darwin
Image
The musical emotion springs precisely from the fact that at each moment the composer withholds or adds more or less than the listener anticipates on the basis of a pattern that he thinks he can guess, but that he is incapable of wholly divining. . . .
Claude Levi-Strauss
Image
The irony is that while God doesn't need us but still wants us, we desperately need God but don't really want Him most of the time. He treasures us and anticipates our departure from this earth to be with Him-and we wonder, indifferently, how much we have to do for Him to get by.
Francis Chan
Image
The greatest grace of a gift, perhaps, is that it anticipates and admits of no return.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Image
Players draw confidence from a poised, alert coach who anticipates changing in game conditions
Jack Ramsay
Image
Writing objects to the lie that life is small. Writing is a cell of energy. Writing defines itself. Writing draws its viewer in for longer than an instant. Writing exhibits boldness. Writing restores power to exalt, unnerve, shock, and transform us. Writing does not imitate life, it anticipates life.
Jeanette Winterson
Image
The conversation of two people remembering, if the memory is enjoyable to both, rocks on like music or lovemaking. There is a rhythm and a predictability to it that each anticipates and relishes.
Jessamyn West
Image
Revolutionary art anticipates visionary physics. When the vision of the revolutionary artist, rooted in the Dionysian right hemisphere, combines with precognition, art will prophesy the future conception of reality.
Leonard Shlain
Image
Attack is the proof that your enemy anticipates your success.
Mike Murdock
Image
Fashion anticipates, and elegance is a state of mind ... a mirror of the time in which we live, a translation of the future, and should never be static.
Oleg Cassini
