"Belief in the supernatural reflects a failure of the imagination." ― Edward Abbey Topic(s): Imagination More From Edward Abbey "For myself I hold no preferences among flowers, so long as they are wild, free, spontaneous. Bricks to all greenhouses! Black thumb and cutworm to the potted plant!" "The tragedy of modern war is that the young men die fighting each other – instead of their real enemies back home in the capitals." "Say what you like about my bloody murderous government,’ I says, ‘but don’t insult me poor bleedin’ country." More In Imagination "Enthusiasm is that temper of the mind in which the imagination has got the better of the judgment."― William Warburton "We say God and the imagination are one… How high that highest candle lights the dark."― Wallace Stevens "We can’t afford to sacrifice another generation of American children to bureaucratic politics. We’ve got to get it done. The future, the health, the life – our nation depends on it and it’s just foolish to think or act otherwise."― LeVar Burton
