Talk:Imagination

Jump to navigation Jump to search

I have a strong interest in the importance of the imagination. One of the problems it seems to me is that some people extol its virtue and others condemn it! A distinction I make in this debate is the difference between fantasy and imagination. My proposed difference is that Fantasy is the covering of reality, where as imagination is the proposals of possibilities regards the future which have yet to be tested. I would be interested in any academic links to this discussion and comments regards my distinction. :) --210.50.216.162 23:21, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I moved the following quotation from the ariticle. Subject has no wq article, and wp article was SDed.~ MosheZadka (Talk) 11:41, 2 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • "The only boundaries to our imaginations are the ones we imagine ourselves." -Jan Kaim, 2004

LKB?[edit]

The third quote down is attributed to someone called "LKB". I did not recognize these initials, so I looked it up online. From what I can tell, the quote is really by a Dr. Timothy Findley, and the full quote goes, "I believe imagination is our greatest asset, as human beings, and I believe it is our best, perhaps our only weapon against despair. I believe imagination is our best, our ultimate means of survival, all of us together -- each of us apart." I'll go ahead and replace it, but if anyone knows better than I, feel free to revert the page. Sammi 00:54, 8 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
