"I don’t think it’s possible to touch people’s imagination today by aesthetic means." ― J. G. Ballard Topic(s): Imagination More From J. G. Ballard "In a completely sane world, madness is the only freedom." "Writing a novel is one of those modern rites of passage, I think, that lead us from an innocent world of contentment, drunkenness, and good humor, to a state of chronic edginess and the perpetual scanning of bank statements." "The American Dream has run out of gas. The car has stopped. It no longer supplies the world with its images, its dreams, its fantasies. No more. It’s over. It supplies the world with its nightmares now: the Kennedy assassination, Watergate, Vietnam." More In Imagination "We say God and the imagination are one… How high that highest candle lights the dark."― Wallace Stevens "Imagination is as good as many voyages – and how much cheaper!"― George William Curtis "Yes, I was correctly quoted in saying I introduced sex into films in the 20’s, but it was sex in good taste and left a great deal to one’s imagination."― Pola Negri
