"It is above all by the imagination that we achieve perception and compassion and hope." ― Ursula K. Le Guin Topic(s): Art More From Ursula K. Le Guin "It had never occurred to me before that music and thinking are so much alike. In fact you could say music is another way of thinking, or maybe thinking is another kind of music." "I doubt that the imagination can be suppressed. If you truly eradicated it in a child, he would grow up to be an eggplant." "If science fiction is the mythology of modern technology, then its myth is tragic." More In Art "Passion is universal humanity. Without it religion, history, romance and art would be useless."― Honore de Balzac "A man paints with his brains and not with his hands."― Michelangelo "It is the great sadness of our species that we have not found a way to eliminate the conflict and to eliminate violence as a device to resolve our conflicts throughout the entire history of the human race."― Neale Donald Walsch
