Now, I'm a failed political consultant. But sometimes fiction has a way of capturing people's imagination in a way that non-fiction doesn't.

Joel C. Rosenberg

Life would have been absolutely empty without imagination.

And, as I have said, it's made me think twice about the imagination. If the spirits aren't external, how astonishing the mediums become! Victor Hugo said of his voices that they were like his own mental powers multiplied by five.

James Merrill

On some level, acting is the art of pretend, and you have to have a highly cultivated sense of imagination.
