Imagination = nostalgia for the past, the absent; it is the liquid solution in which art develops the snapshots of reality.

Only in men's imagination does every truth find an effective and undeniable existence. Imagination, not invention, is the supreme master of art as of life.

Imagination, that dost so abstract us That we are not aware, not even when A thousand trumpets sound about our ears!

The Possible's slow fuse is lit By the Imagination.

The necessity of loyalty between friends, the responsibility that the strong owe the infirm, the illusion of ill-gotten gain, the rewards of hard work, honesty, and trust-these are enduring truths glimpsed and judged first through the imagination, first through art.

I imagine, therefore I belong and am free.

The imagination and the senses cannot be gratified at the same time.

There are no days in life so memorable as those which vibrated to some stroke of the imagination.

In the world of the imagination, anything goes that's imaginatively possible, but nothing really happens.

Men endowed with a wild imagination should have, in addition, the great poetic faculty of denying our universe and its values so that they may act upon it with sovereign ease.
