Imagination : (58) " Writing gives me the opportunity to explore ideas, play with language, solve problems, use my imagination, and draw on my own childhood. " - Jack Prelutsky " Literature is a beautiful way of keeping the imagination alive, of visiting worlds you would never have time to in your day-to-day life. It keeps you abreast of a wider spectrum of human activities. " - Abraham Verghese " I trust the readers to build their own visual images. To me, that’s part of the wonder of reading. " - Michael Connelly " I think probably you can either write for kids, or you can’t. That ability to imaginatively be a child and see the world as a child and feel and think like a child – you either have that ability or you don’t. " - Morris Gleitzman " Imagination makes us aware of limitless possibilities. How many of us haven’t pondered the concept of infinity or imagined the possibility of time travel? In one of her poems, Emily Bronte likens imagination to a constant companion, but I prefer to think of it as a built-in entertainment system. " - Alexandra Adornetto " I think it reflects well on the state of animation that people are knowledgeable about it and love the fantasy and imagination that goes into it. " - Bill Plympton " Creativity requires novelty. Imagination is all about counterfactuals and untested possibilities that don’t yet exist. " - Maria Konnikova " I had no real idea I was going to become a writer. It was just a game for me. I just liked pretending, daydreaming and imagining. " - Rabindranath Maharaj " I always wanted to ride a dragon myself, so I decided to do this for a year in my imagination. " - Cornelia Funke " I’m the youngest of four, but my closest sibling is 10 years older. I had a lot of imagination. I was running around playing little games by myself. But I never thought I was going to be an actor. " - Daniel Breaker
