"My acting teacher used to say that people reveal themselves in their opposites." ― Kristin Bauer van Straten Topic(s): Imagination More From Kristin Bauer van Straten "So much of our lives are defined by habit or what the guy next to us is doing, never wondering and knowing who and what we support with our actions, from the detergent Mom always used, to my favorite dish I make… A lot of my life is unexamined habit." "People can do all kinds of things that maybe aren’t wise in hindsight because of jealousy." More In Imagination "Without this playing with fantasy no creative work has ever yet come to birth. The debt we owe to the play of the imagination is incalculable."― Carl Jung "I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free."― Michelangelo "Imagination is always the fabric of social life and the dynamic of history. The influence of real needs and compulsions, of real interests and materials, is indirect because the crowd is never conscious of it."― Simone Weil
