The whole
fauna of human fantasies, their marine vegetation, drifts
and luxuriates in the dimly lit zones of human activity, as
though plaiting thick tresses of darkness. Here, too, appear
the lighthouses of the mind, with their outward resemblance
to less pure symbols. The gateway to mystery swings open at
the touch of human weakness and we have entered the realms
of darkness. One false step, one slurred syllable together
reveal a man's thoughts.
-- Louis Aragon
1897-1982, French Poet
I consider it
useless and tedious to represent what exists, because
nothing that exists satisfies me. Nature is ugly, and I
prefer the monsters of my fancy to what is positively
trivial.
-- Charles Baudelaire
1821-1867, French Poet
When a fantasy
turns you on, you're obligated to God and nature to start
doing it right away.
-- Stewart Brand
1938-, American Editor,
Writer
The mind can
make substance, and people planets of its own with beings
brighter than have been, and give a breath to forms which
can outlive all flesh.
-- Lord Byron
1788-1824, British Poet
