The reason we have poverty is that we have no imagination. There are a great many people accumulating what they think is vast wealth, but it's only money... they don't know how to enjoy it, because they have no imagination.

The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity... and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself.

There are many ways to be free. One of them is to transcend reality by imagination, as I try to do.

Few people have the imagination for reality.

Why does the eye see a thing more clearly in dreams than the imagination when awake?
