The imagination is man's power over nature.

I doubt that the imagination can be suppressed. If you truly eradicated it in a child he would grow up to be an eggplant.

I believe in the imagination. What I cannot see is infinitely more important than what I can see.

Imagination is at the root of much that passes for love.

Imagination grows by exercise and contrary to common belief is more powerful in the mature than in the young.

There is a boundary to men's passions when they act from feelings but none when they are under the influence of imagination.

I am imagination. I can see what the eyes cannot see. I can hear what the ears cannot hear. I can feel what the heart cannot feel.
