Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning.

The soul without imagination is what an observatory would be without a telescope.

Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together go to the making of genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius.

Do not quench your inspiration and your imagination do not become the slave of your model.

I am certain of nothing but the holiness of the heart's affections, and the truth of imagination.
