"There are many ways to be free. One of them is to transcend reality by imagination, as I try to do." ― Anais Nin Topic(s): Imagination More From Anais Nin "It is the function of art to renew our perception. What we are familiar with we cease to see. The writer shakes up the familiar scene, and, as if by magic, we see a new meaning in it." "Do not seek the because – in love there is no because, no reason, no explanation, no solutions." "Life is truly known only to those who suffer, lose, endure adversity and stumble from defeat to defeat." More In Imagination "In a very alert and bright state of society people learn co-operation by themselves, but in older and quieter conditions of laboring enterprise, such a bill as I propose will point out the way to mutual exertion."― Leland Stanford "The costume that I wear on the show is a little snug and doesn’t leave a whole lot to the imagination. I don’t have a problem with it because of the way this character’s been written."― Jeri Ryan "When we had to do book reports, I would pick a book that no one read and just make it up and turn that in. I got praised for my imagination."― Ahmet Zappa
