I believe that fantasy in the meaning of imagination is very important. We shouldn't stick too close to everyday reality but give room to the reality of the heart, of the mind, and of the imagination.
I doubt that the imagination can be suppressed. If you truly eradicated it in a child, he would grow up to be an eggplant.
Well, I think that as a country, we've drifted away from appreciating the importance of imagination.
The world needs fantasy, not reality. We have enough reality today
Literature is a luxury; fiction is a necessity.
While the sciences are hugely important, let us not leave behind a child's imagination.
In my dream the angel shrugged and said, if we fail this time, it will be a failure of imagination. And then she placed the world gently in the palm of my hand.
The faculty of imagination is both the rudder and the bridle of the senses.
Literature and fiction are two entirely different things. Literature is a luxury; fiction is a necessity.
You can keep your mind open and use your imagination and be creative even when you're older. For kids, I definitely think keeping your mind open and using your imagination and being able to play pretend and that it's okay.
