Quote by Marcel Proust

“For a young man has strong imagination but poor judgment, so that he imagines others to be as big as he is but considers himself to be very small. He has unbounded trust in the universe but is constantly unsure of himself.”

“What if stars were the glimmering tears of a giant, welling in his cheeks, waiting to fall at the first tender stroke of emotion? What if the moon were a wide-open eye gazing down on our tiny, little world and its tiny, little inhabitants as they rush to and fro in pursuit of tiny, little dreams? What if the sun were the glowing heart of a great beast, pumping hot blood to keep him alive while providing warmth for our pitiful world? Ahhh, imagination; it is a wondrous thing!”

“Imagination is better than a sharp instrument. To pay attention, this is our endless and proper work.”

Imagination

Author:Mary Oliver

“— Водна лилия — промълви Колин. — Откъде ли я е прихванала?… — Водна лилия ли има? — попита недоверчиво Никола. — Да, в десния бял дроб — отвърна Колин. — Отначало професорът смяташе, че е някакво животно. А ето какво излезе. Видяхме я на екрана. Вече е доста голяма, но сигурно ще успеем да се преборим. — Не можете да си представите какво ми е — изхлипа Клое. — Толкова ме боли, когато тя мърда!”

Imagination Metaphor

Author:Boris Vian

“The unconscious mind goes on doing things and creating problems. There is no wall at all that you have to push through. The real thing is that you want to push, you are in a hurry. And because you want to push, you have to imagine a wall. It is your imagination. Just try to laugh at your imagination, at your hurry, because this is not the way meditation happens. Laugh, relax, and just be in the moment – watching whatever is going on, outside or inside, in the world or in the mind. You are neither the world nor the mind. You are behind all, just a pure watching consciousness.”
