Fantasies are more than substitutes for
unpleasant reality;
they are also dress rehearsals, plans. All acts performed in the world begin in the imagination.
-Barbara Grizzuti Harrison

Imagination
has the creative task of making symbols, joining
things together in such a way that they throw new light on
each other and on everything around them. The
imagination
is a discovering faculty, a faculty for seeing
relationships,
for seeing meanings that are special and even quite new.
-Thomas
Merton

All
prosperity begins in the mind and is dependent only
upon the full use of our creative imagination.
-Ruth
Ross |

The
faculty of imagination is the great spring of human
activity,
and the principal source of human improvement. Destroy
this faculty,
and the condition of people will become as stationary as
that of brutes. -Dugald
Stewart

| The
opportunities of people are limited only by their
imagination. But so few have imagination that there are ten thousand
fiddlers to one composer.
-Charles F.
Kettering |
| |
| The
highest and best work of imagination is the marvelous
transformation that it works in character. Imagine
that you are
one with the principal of good, and you will become truly
good. -Charles
Fillmore |
| |
| True imagination is not fanciful
daydreaming; it is fire from heaven.
-Ernest Holmes |

Imagination
has brought humankind through the dark ages to its
present state of civilization. Imagination led
Columbus to discover
America. Imagination led Franklin to discover
electricity. Imagination
has given us the steam engine, the telephone, the
talking-machine,
and the automobile, for these things had to be dreamed of
before
they became realities. So I believe that
dreams--daydreams, you
know, with your eyes wide open and your brain machinery
whizzing--are likely to lead to the betterment of the world. The
imaginative
child will become the imaginative man or woman most apt to
invent,
and therefore to foster, civilization.
-L. Frank
Baum |

|
The person who has no imagination has no
wings. -Muhammad Ali
|
| |
|
You can't depend on your judgment
when your imagination is out of focus.
-Mark Twain
|
| |
|
I believe in the imagination.
What I cannot see is infinitely more
important than what I can see.
-Duane Michals
|
| |
|
Once you know with abundant certainty that
nothing
can trouble you but your own imagination, you come
to disregard your desires and fears,
concepts and ideas, and live by truth alone.
-Nisargadatta
|
| |
| Imagination is the highest kite
that one can fly.
-Lauren Bacall |
| |
|
Imagination
is our ability
to see inwardly and picture
there
that which has not
yet appeared outwardly. Imagination is God's gift
to us. -Donald
Curtis

Imagination offers people
consolation
for what they cannot be, and
humor for what they actually are.
-Albert Camus
|
| |
|
The
mind, without imagination,
would be as useless
as an
observatory without a telescope.
-Fred
van Amburgh
|
| |
|
Imagination
is a good horse to carry you over the ground--not a flying carpet to set you free from probability.
-Robertson
Davies
|
| |
|
Imagination
is the first step in creation whether in words or trifles.
The mental pattern must always precede the material form.
-William
W. Atkinson
|
| |
|
The world of reality has its limits;
the world of imagination is boundless.
-Jean-Jacques Rousseau
|
| |
|
The world is but a canvas
to our imaginations. -Henry
David Thoreau

|
|
|
Imagination is the true magic
carpet. -Norman
Vincent Peale

|
| Imagination
is a flame that ignites the creative spirit.
Imagination lights up your mind by stoking mental
fires. It can be stimulated from the outside
through the senses, or from the inside through the
driving power of curiosity and discontent.
Imagination
stimulates your thinking power by giving your mind
abundant data with which to work. It opens the
gate to dreams and fantasies so that you may become
receptive, as a little child, in exploring the
Kingdom of Ideas.
Imagination
guides you in your contacts with individuals and
crowds, so you can discover new concepts and
approaches.
Imagination
inspires you to look at everything with fresh eyes,
as though you had just come forth from a dark tunnel
into the light of day. Imagination becomes for
you a magic lamp with which to search the darkness
of the unknown, that you may discover new goals or
chart more productive paths to old goals.
Imagination
helps you to recognize the reality of facts, but
then to go beyond them, to penetrate beneath them,
to rise above them in your search for creative
answers to problems. Imagination "stirs
up the gift of God in thee." Through your
imagination you touch and express the inspiration of
the Infinite. Imagination, in the words of
Shakespeare, "gives to airy nothing a local
habitation and a name." You reach into
the heavens to grasp an idea, then you bring it down
to earth and make it work.
