“How can we protect ourselves from a culture of manipulation, where tastes and flavors are re-created chemically in laboratories and given to us as natural food, where religion is packaged, televised and tweeted and commercials influence us to such an extent that they dictate not only what we eat, wear, read and want but what and how we dream. We need the pristine beauty of truth as revealed to us in fiction, poetry, music and the arts: we need to retrieve the third eye of imagination.” Memoirs Of A GeishaAzar NafisiThe Republic Of Imagination Book:The Republic of Imagination: America in Three Books Source: The Republic of Imagination: America in Three Books
