“The imaginations excited by the view of an unknown and untravelled wilderness are not such as arise in the artificial solitude of parks and gardens... The phantoms which haunt a desert are want, and misery, and danger; the evils of dereliction rush upon the thoughts; man is made unwillingly acquainted with his own weakness, and meditation shows him only how little he can sustain, and how little he can perform.” MenWantLittlesMadeShowsEvilImaginationViewsMeditationDangerSolitudeWeaknessGardenMiseryExcitedAriseDesertParksWildernessArtificialPhantoms Book:Works: With an Essay on His Life and Genius Source: Works: With an Essay on His Life and Genius

“Time spent with children is time well spent. Their little minds are not constrained by 'reality' or focused upon goals. Anything and everything is possible. Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were.

“It is a bit more challenging for the simple fact that now the stories I am writing are relying more on my imagination than on facts, more on research than on memory; so it is basically a slower writing process, more reading, more exploring. On the other hand, this approach is a little bit relieving too, since many times while writing [How the Soldieer Repairs the Gramophone] I felt too close and equal to my character.” WritingLittlesCharacterFactsStoriesHandsReadingFeltBitsProcessImaginationChallengesMemoriesSimpleEqualApproachLittle BitResearchExploringWriting ProcessMy ImaginationReading More Author:Sasa Stanisic
“I'll always love Paraguay. It's this most exotic place configured out of the imagination, the whole country.Paraguay will always be a special place in my heart. I go back a long way. I first arrived as a refugee in 1982 from the Falklands War. So it was a safe haven then, and it has become something exotic since then. I feel like I'd like the dust to settle a little bit before going back.” WayFeelsFirstsHeartLittlesLongWarCountryWholeBitsImaginationSpecialHavensMy HeartSafeLittle BitDustSettlingRefugeeLong WayExoticSpecial PlacesSafe HavenParaguayFalklandsExotic Places Author:John Gimlette
“I don't have a lot of experience to draw from. I had my first kiss when I was 17 or 18. The second time we kissed I got a little excited and I was wearing these really loose shorts that didn't leave much to the imagination. I tried to angle my body away and divert her eyes by saying, "Hey, look at the stars." From then on I wore tighter jeans.” FirstsLooksLittlesBodyEyeStarsImaginationKissingDrawsExcitedHeyHer EyesAngleJeansFirst KissShortsMy First Kiss Author:Jon Heder
“I think my imagination and my passions are still firing away, but it's really the body that starts to make up the rules.

“When we were kids, you picked up a little paper and put it on a stick; and when you waved it back and forth, you understood the power of air underneath the wings. In that way, a child begins to understand abstraction, poetry, metaphor, symbolism. You play with the materials you have and use your imagination to make them into something else. That what's so sad about having everything on a little screen - it's not physical and dimensional, and that seems backward.” WayChildrenLittlesPlayUseSeemsKidsImaginationAirMaterialsPaperUnderstoodWingsSticksMetaphorScreensAbstractionBack And ForthSymbolismSo Sad Author:Julie Taymor
