Imagination is Reality Lite - a useful substitute when the real pleasure is inaccessible, too risky, or too much work. Paul Bloom

Work, Pleasure, Inaccessible

I can get very philosophical and ask the questions Keats was asking as a young guy. What are we here for? What's a soul? What's it all about? What is thinking about, imagination? Jane Campion

Asking, Here, Very

There's no artist in this world that doesn't enjoy the dream that if they have bad reviews now, the story of Keats can redeem them, in their fantasy or imagination, in the future. I think Keats' poem 'Endymion' is a really difficult poem, and I'm not surprised that a lot of people pulled it apart in a way. Jane Campion

Artist, Bad, I Think

For memory, we use our imagination. We take a few strands of real time and carry them with us, then like an oyster we create a pearl around them. John Banville

Memory, Like, Use

When I think of Camelot, I think of the castle in France where we film, but I think it's wrong to lock it down to one place because it's all part of our imagination. They are legends for a reason. Their stories have endured for hundreds of years and, hopefully, they will for hundreds of years to come. Colin Morgan

Reason, Castle, I Think

Any acting is a stretch of the imagination. That's your job. Acting is truth in imaginary circumstances. Acting with green screen or a motion capture stage, you're striving for absolute truth in absolutely imaginary circumstances. Sam Worthington

Green, Motion, Circumstances

An essay is a thing of the imagination. If there is information in an essay, it is by-the-by, and if there is an opinion, one need not trust it for the long run. A genuine essay rarely has an educational, polemical, or sociopolitical use; it is the movement of a free mind at play. Cynthia Ozick

Trust, Mind, Play

I use a lot of film images, analogies, and imagination. Carlos Fuentes

Use, Lot, Images

The imagination is man's power over nature. Wallace Stevens

Nature, Man, Over

Emotional, Feel, I Write

My hope is that this life is not all there is. This life is like preparation for what is coming next, and what is coming next is something so glorious that the Bible says minds can't conceive it, eye has never seen, your imagination could never even enter into all that God is preparing for those who love him. Anne Graham Lotz

Love, Next, Conceive

Justice, Only, Found

Away, Rather, Use

A writer loses possession of her work as soon as it's reaches its audience. Each reader brings his own experience and prejudice and imagination to the work. Television adaptation just goes one step further, and the novelist has to learn to let go. Ann Cleeves

Own, Possession, Reader
