"In the world of words, the imagination is one of the forces of nature." ― Wallace Stevens Topic(s): Imagination More From Wallace Stevens "Money is a kind of poetry." "If poetry should address itself to the same needs and aspirations, the same hopes and fears, to which the Bible addresses itself, it might rival it in distribution." "Death is the mother of Beauty; hence from her, alone, shall come fulfillment to our dreams and our desires." More In Imagination "To speak of morals in art is to speak of legislature in sex. Art is the sex of the imagination."― George Jean Nathan "For me, my travels have been the chance to go to a place that already exists in my imagination."― Hugo Pratt "Catastrophes are often stimulated by the failure to feel the emergence of a domain, and so what cannot be felt in the imagination is experienced as embodied sensation in the catastrophe."― William Irwin Thompson
