"I am not interested in slice of life, what I want is a slice of the imagination." ― Carlos Fuentes Topic(s): Imagination More From Carlos Fuentes "You have an absolute freedom in Mexican writing today in which you don’t necessarily have to deal with the Mexican identity. You know why? Because we have an identity… We know who we are. We know what it means to be a Mexican." "What the United States does best is to understand itself. What it does worst is understand others." "The United States has written the white history of the United States. It now needs to write the black, Latino, Indian, Asian and Caribbean history of the United States." More In Imagination "The most imaginative people are the most credulous, for them everything is possible."― Alexander Chase "The peculiar fascination which the South held over my imagination and my limited capital decided me in favor of Atlanta University; so about the last of September I bade farewell to the friends and scenes of my boyhood and boarded a train for the South."― James Weldon Johnson "It takes no imagination to live within your means."― Francis Ford Coppola
