People often
get their imagination's mixed up with their memories.
-- P.K. Shaw
The great
instrument of moral good is the imagination.
-- Percy Bysshe Shelley
1792-1822, British Poet
When you think
something, you think in picture. You don't think a thought
in words. You think a picture that expresses your thought.
Working with this picture will produce it into your
experience.
-- Grace Speare
To regard the
imagination as metaphysics is to think of it as part of
life, and to think of it as part of life is to realize the
extent of artifice. We live in the mind.
-- Wallace Stevens
1879-1955, American Poet

By visualizing
your goals, you can get your subconscious to work toward
making these mental pictures come true.
-- Success Magazine
American Business Magazine
Before I put a
sketch on paper, the whole idea is worked out mentally. In
my mind I change the construction, make improvements, and
even operate the device. Without ever having drawn a sketch
I can give the measurements of all parts to workmen, and
when completed all these parts will fit, just as certainly
as though I had made the actual drawings. It is immaterial
to me whether I run my machine in my mind or test it in my
shop. The inventions I have conceived in this way have
always worked. In thirty years there has not been a single
exception. My first electric motor, the vacuum wireless
light, my turbine engine and many other devices have all
been developed in exactly this way.
-- Nikola Tesla
1856-1943, Croatian Physicist
and Electrical Engineer
I do not know
how to distinguish between our waking life and a dream. Are
we not always living the life that we imagine we are?
-- Henry David Thoreau
1817-1862, American Essayist,
Poet, Naturalist
