“The offence is what is improperly called the death of an infant, who has ceased to be, before knowing what existence is, a result of a nature not to give the slightest inquietude to the most timid imagination; and which can cause no regrets but to the very person who, through a sentiment of shame and pity, has refused to prolong a life begun under the auspices of misery.” GivingPersonsCausesImaginationResultsExistenceKnowingRegretShameMiseryPitySentimentsInfantNo RegretsOffence Book:Theory of Legislation Source: Theory of Legislation

“Fantasy works inwards upon its author, blurring the boundary between the visioned and the actual, and associating itself ever moreclosely with the Ego, so that the child who has fantasied himself a murderer ends by becoming a Loeb or a Leopold. The creative Imagination works outwards, steadily increasing the gap between the visioned and the actual, till this becomes the great gulf fixed between art and nature. Few writers of crime-stories become murderers--if any do, it is not the result of identifying themselves with their murderous heroes.” IfsChildrenArtEndsStoriesImaginationResultsFantasyCreativeCrimeBecomingHeroEgoWork OutBoundariesFixedGapsMurdererIdentifyingCreative Imagination Book:The Mind of the Maker Source: The Mind of the Maker
“The so-called ‘crank’ may be quite original in his ideas. … Invention, however, in the engineering sense involves originality; but not that alone, if the results are to be of value. There is imagination more or less fertile, but with it a knowledge of what has been done before, carried perhaps by the memory, together with a sense of the present or prospective needs in art or industry. Necessity is not always the mother of invention. It may be prevision.” IfsNeedsMayHas BeensArtIdeasDoneTogetherMotherValuesImaginationMemoriesResultsIndustryOriginalsInventionOriginalityEngineeringFertileCrankPrevision Author:Elihu Thomson
“Fantasy is a product of thought, Imagination of sensibility. If the thinking, discursive mind turns to speculation, the result isFantasy; if, however, the sensitive, intuitive mind turns to speculation, the result is Imagination. Fantasy may be visionary, but it is cold and logical. Imagination is sensuous and instinctive. Both have form, but the form of Fantasy is analogous to Exposition, that of Imagination to Narrative.” IfsThinkingMindMayFormTurnsImaginationResultsFantasyProductsColdNarrativeSensitiveLogicalSensibilitySpeculationIntuitiveVisionariesSensuous Author:Herbert Read

“To act in an independent manner, you must begin to initiate action that you want to occur physically by creating it in your own being. This is done by combining belief, emotion and imagination, and forming them into a mental picture of the desired physical result.” WantDoneActionBeliefImaginationResultsEmotionCreatingIndependentCombiningInitiate Author:Seth
“You must watch the pictures that you paint with your imagination. Your environment and the conditions of your life at any given time are the direct result of your own inner expectations. If you imagine dire circumstances, ill health or desperate loneliness, these will be 'automatically' materialized, for these thoughts themselves bring about the conditions that will give them a reality in physical terms. If you would have good health then you must imagine this as vividly as you fearfully imagine ill health.” IfsGivingRealityGivenTermImaginationResultsWatchesEnvironmentImagineConditionsLonelinessHealthCircumstancesExpectationsDirectPaintIllDesperateOur EnvironmentGood HealthIll Health Author:Seth
