The world, as imagination sees it, is the real world. Not facts, but figments of the imagination, shape our daily lives. It is the exact and literal minded who live in a fictitious world. Only imagination can restore the Eden, from which experience has driven us out.
Imagination is the sense by which we perceived the above, the power by which we resolve vision into being.
Every stage of man’s progress is made by the exercise of the imagination.
It is only because men do not perfectly imagine and believe that their results are sometimes uncertain when they might always be perfectly certain.
Determined imagination is the beginning of all successful operation. The imagination, alone, is the means of fulfilling the intention. The man who, at will, can call up whatever image he pleases, is, by virtue of the power of his imagination, least of all subject to caprice. The solitary or captive can, by intensity of imagination and feeling, affect myriads so that he can act through many men and speak through many voices.
