Without this playing with fantasy no creative work has ever yet come to birth. The debt we owe to the play of the imagination is incalculable.Carl Jung
All the works of man have their origin in creative fantasy. What right have we then to depreciate imagination.Carl Jung

I want the concentration and the romance, and the worlds all glued together, fused, glowing: have no time to waste any more on prose.Virginia Woolf
Aptitude found in the understanding and is often inherited. Genius coming from reason and imagination, rarely.Marcus Aurelius
