Dreaming is an act of pure imagination attesting in all men a creative power which if it were available in waking would make every man a Dante or Shakespeare.

I tried to stir the imagination and enthusiasms of students to take risks to do what they were most afraid of doing to widen their horizons of action.

Many memory techniques involve creating unforgettable imagery in your mind's eye. That's an act of imagination. Creating really weird imagery really quickly was the most fun part of my training to compete in the U.S. Memory Competition.

Lyrically I like to use themes that make the listener use his or her imagination and to give a little of the lessons I've learned in my own life.

A young imagination is bold likes to make bigger leaps. It likes to well imagine that the dustbuster is a dinosaur that the computer mouse is a hotrod that the box is a cave that the rawhide is a torch... or a baton... or something.

There's just so many great stories in the past that you can know a little bit about but you can't know it all and that's where imagination can work.

There can be no passion and by consequence no love where there is not imagination.

There must be room for the imagination to exercise its powers we must conceive and apprehend a thousand things which we do not actually witness.

I am not interested in slice of life what I want is a slice of the imagination.
