A pioneer should have imagination, should be able to enjoy the idea of things more than the things themselves.
Kings ought never to be seen upon the stage. In the abstract, they are very disagreeable characters: it is only while living that they are 'the best of kings'. It is their power, their splendour, it is the apprehension of the personal consequences of their favour or their hatred that dazzles the imagination and suspends the judgement of their favourites or their vassals; but death cancels the bond of allegiance and of interest; and seen AS THEY WERE, their power and their pretensions look monstrous and ridiculous.
My manic depression was ravaging my life, but because nobody could see it, many people thought it was a figment of my imagination.
I imagine therefore I belong and am free.
If you take your inspiration from nature, you don't invent anything, because what you want to do is to interpret something. But still, everything passes throught your imagination. What you produce at the end is very different from the reality you started with.
I'm a figment of your imagination. You're only imagining that I'm sitting here eating with you. Because I'm just so freaking awesome that people daydream about being seen with me.

The termination is not based on innocence or guilt, but on biology. The sociopath personality is fraudulent. They are impostors within the human species. Killing a sociopath is equivalent to killing God. Neither exists in reality. They are empty shells of imagination, said Chiron
Capablanca did not apply himself to opening theory (in which he never therefore achieved much), but delved deeply into the study of end-games and other simple positions which respond to technique rather than to imagination.
Physical reality springs from the imagination, which follows the path of your beliefs
There are a lot of cameramen but not so many photographers. And a lot of cameramen attack from a technical approach without much imagination. They look, but they don't see.
Against a diseased imagination demonstration goes for nothing.
Love is purely a creation of the human imagination. . . the most important example of how the imagination continually outruns the creature it inhabits.
Use your imagination until your big dream feels so familiar that its manifestation is the next logical step.
Does the imagination dwell the most Upon a woman won or a woman lost?
The imagination and the place that dreams come from is so huge and so important. I'm trying to write about the real world, in that I'm trying to write about whatever it is the experience that makes us human, the things that we have in common.
For why are we here if not to try to fathom one another? Not through facts alone, but with the full extent of our imaginations. And what are stories if not tools for imagining?
Imagination is more powerful than knowledge.
Science fiction is a way that I can go into the abstract, go into the imagination, and audiences are still willing to go along for the ride.
Imagination is the queen of truth, and possibility is one of the regions of truth. She is positively akin to infinity.
