It is the critical spirit that creates." ― Oscar Wilde Topic(s): Imagination Tags: imagination, imitates More From Oscar Wilde "There is always something ridiculous about the emotions of people whom one has ceased to love." "It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious." "As long as war is regarded as wicked, it will always have its fascination. When it is looked upon as vulgar, it will cease to be popular." More In Imagination "I’m an emotional sort of person in general and I have a vivid imagination, so I feel the whole spectrum of emotion strongly when I write."― Erin Morgenstern "To put down an ideogram of a table so that people will recognize it as a table is not the work of a painter, but to sense it for a moment as a magic carpet with a leg hanging down at each corner is the beginning of a painter’s imagination."― Frank Auerbach "Technology, like art, is a soaring exercise of the human imagination."― Daniel Bell
