The bulk of the world’s knowledge is an imaginary construction.
The amount of it is, the imagination, give it the least license, dives deeper and soars higher than Nature goes.
One cannot fix one’s eyes on the commonest natural production without finding food for a rambling fancy.
Nothing is more frightful than imagination without taste.
Not seeing people permits us to imagine in them every perfection.
No psychologist has yet thought that the imagination is a necessary ingredient of perception itself.[Dass die Einbildungskraft ein nothwendiges Ingrediens der Wahrnehmung selbst sei, daran hat wol noch kein Psychologe gedacht.]
My imagination will get me a passport to hell one day.
Let us leave pretty women to men with no imagination.[Laissons les jolies femmes aux hommes sans imagination.]
Imagination, the real and eternal World of which this Vegetable Universe is but a faint shadow, and in which we shall live in our Eternal or Imaginative Bodies when these Vegetable Mortal Bodies are no more.
Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire; you will what you imagine; and at last you create what you will.
If you don’t imagine, nothing ever happens at all.
If you do not see great riches in your imagination, you will never see them in your bank balance.
