“Perhaps the history of the errors of mankind, all things considered, is more valuable and interesting than that of their discoveries. Truth is uniform and narrow; it constantly exists, and does not seem to require so much an active energy, as a passive aptitude of the soul in order to encounter it. But error is endlessly diversified; it has no reality, but is the pure and simple creation of the mind that invents it. In this field the soul has room enough to expand herself, to display all her boundless faculties, and all her beautiful and interesting extravagancies and absurdities.” MindDoeSoulEnoughRealitySeemsBeautifulOrderEnergySimpleInterestingRoomsMankindCreationFieldsTruth IsPureDiscoveryAll ThingsErrorsValuableActiveEncountersFacultyDisplayPassiveUniformsAbsurdityBoundlessAptitude Author:Benjamin Franklin

“The region belonging to the pure intellect is straitened: the imagination labours to extend its territories, to give it room. She sweeps across the boarders, searching out new lands into which she may guide her plodding brother. The imagination is the light which redeems from the darkness for the eyes of the understanding. Novalis says, 'The imagination is the stuff of the intellect' -affords, that is, the material upon which the intellect works.” GivingMayLightEyeStuffUnderstandingImaginationRoomsDarknessLandBrotherMaterialsPureIntellectGuidesLabourRegionsBelongingTerritory Book:The Imagination: And Other Essays Source: The Imagination: And Other Essays
