They could put me in a helicopter and fly me up into the air and line up the bodies head to toe on the ground

You can find magic wherever you look. Sit back and relax, all you need is a book.

Sometimes it is all in our heads and all these problems are made up by our brain. Shake your head, rub your eyes, keep your head up and wake up. Start fresh!! And it will all be just fine.

We are stronger, gentler, more resilient, and more beautiful than any of us imagine.

Just because the past didn’t turn out like you wanted it to, doesn’t mean the future can’t be better than you ever imagined.

Roses are red; violets are blue. I’m going to bed, so I can dream of you. Goodnight!

Whenever I listen to songs, I rewrite them in my head.

To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee, One clover, and a bee, And revery. The revery alone will do, If bees are few.

The brain is wider than the sky.

I try to distract myself from reality by wielding an active imagination. Then I have nightmares.

Your future depends on your dreams, so go to sleep.

Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn’t.

You can’t depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus.

We are built up again
By what we
Build/find/see/say/remember/know.
What we carry means we survive,
It is what survives us.
We have survived us.
Where once we were alone,
Now we are beside ourselves.
Where once we were barbed & brutal as blades,
Now we can only imagine.

This poem & its pain are both imagined & as real as we are. That is to say, through some fictions we find fact; in some fantasies we discover ourselves & then some. Even without living it, a memory can live on in us. The past is never gone, just not yet found.

As far away as it is,
The late sun looks
Peelable in our palm.
That is to say, distance
Renders all massiveness
Carriable.

Think! Think and wonder. Wonder and think. How much water can fifty-five elephants drink?

You’re never too old, too wacky, too wild, to pick up a book and read to a child.

Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the THINKS you can think up if only you try!

The nicest thing for me is sleep, then at least I can dream.

We must remember God’s plan for us is not our plan. God’s plan for us is far larger and better than any plan we can imagine.

Always trust your gut instinct. There will come a time when you will understand, but for now trust God has a plan greater than you

The gift of fantasy has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing positive knowledge.

we only pretend to live
while we wait on something.

Worry is a waste of imagination.

Without literature, life is hell.

The Baron went on doing magic things. Half the notebook was filled with Baron Von Himmlen. It made me feel good to write about the Baron. A man needed somebody. There wasn’t anybody around, so you had to make up somebody, make him up to be like a man should be. It wasn’t make-believe or cheating. The other way was make-believe and cheating living your life without a man like him around.

Fancy being remembered around the world for the invention of a mouse!

Here you leave today and enter the world of yesterday, tomorrow, and fantasy.

Fantasy, if it’s really convincing, can’t become dated, for the simple reason that it represents a flight into a dimension that lies beyond the reach of time.

I do not make films primarily for children. I make them for the child in all of us, whether we be six or sixty.

Every child is born blessed with a vivid imagination. But just as a muscle grows flabby with disuse, so the bright imagination of a child pales in later years if he ceases to exercise it.

That’s what we storytellers do. We restore order with imagination. We instill hope again and again and again.

Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world.

Hatsuharu Sohma: You stubborn idiot. What if it was Yuki wearing a girl’s uniform?
Yuki Sohma: Haru, cut it out or I will cut you off.
Hatsuharu

When I was a kid, I thought that if you swallowed a watermelon seed… A watermelon would grow in your stomach.

We can either tell her the truth or make up a story she won’t believe anyway.

What a dump. When I think of castles, it’s not what I picture.

The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives.

When we were kids there was a strange house all the shades were always drawn and we never heard voices in there and the yard was full of bamboo and we liked to play in the bamboo pretend we were Tarzan.

Enjoy your adventure in the forest of dreams.

Somehow you’ll escape all that waiting and staying. You’ll find the bright places where Boom Bands are playing.

First and foremost, I live for God now. His plans for me are better than whatever I can think.

on the continent

I’m soft. I
dream too.
I let myself dream. I dream of
being famous. I dream of
walking the streets of London and
Paris. I dream of
sitting in cafes
drinking fine wines and
taking a taxi back to a good
hotel.
I dream of
meeting beautiful ladies in the hall
and
turning them away because
I have a sonnet in mind
that I want to write
before sunrise. at sunrise
I will be asleep and there will be a
strange cat curled up on the
windowsill.

I think we all feel like this
now and then.
I’d even like to visit
Andernach, Germany, the place where
I began, then I’d like to
fly on to Moscow to check out
their mass transit system so
I’d have something faintly lewd to
whisper into the ear of the mayor of
Los Angeles upon to my return to this
fucking place.

it could happen.
I’m ready.
I’ve watched snails crawl over
ten foot walls
and vanish.

you mustn’t confuse this with
ambition.
I would be able to laugh at my
good turn of the cards –

and I won’t forget you.
I’ll send postcards and
snapshots, and the
finished sonnet.

When the brain has no thought to chew on, no memory to revisit, and no past or future situation to imagine, it then has only one desire: falling asleep.Delbert Curti

There are things that I wanted. Things I pictured to myself. Parents who would hug me. A home I’d want to return to. A place where everyone smiled. A me that everyone wouldn’t leave… A warm place. A warm person. They really exist. They’re real.

Use your imagination to create mental movies of your desired goal.

Then do something that’s beyond what we both can imagine.

Too many to name them all, but all men let their dreams run wild and yearn for that romance. There’s no sin in letting dreams run wild while keeping one foot in reality.

In your dreams Pedro, in your dreams.

I’m an optimistic guy. I’m one of those big dreamers. I’m one of those kids with that annoying imagination.

Optimist: day dreamer more elegantly spelled.

Time to ride the rainbow to dreamland!

I know it is wet and the sun is not sunny, but we can have lots of good fun that is funny.

It was better for me when I could imagine greatness in others, even if it wasn’t always there.

Text me before you are about to shower so we can do it together.

Before I fall asleep I always picture what it would feel like to fall asleep in your arms. It’s probably the best feeling in the world.

A novelist can’t be without a kimono and pen!

The Subconscious mind can not tell the difference between what’s real and what’s imagined.

We can build anything in our imagination that’s where all creation begins in your life.

Everything has been created twice once on a mental plain and once on a physical plain.

A word is dead when it is said, some say. I say it just begins to live that day.

This month is like a blank canvas. What will you paint on it?

People lack originality.

The moment your belief matches with any state, you fuse with it, and this union results in the activation and projection of its plots, plans, conditions and circumstances.

This new state of conscious awareness becomes your home from which you view the world.

It is your workshop, and, if you are observant, you will see outer reality shaping itself upon the model of your imagination.

“Maybe you just need to tell us all why you told on Marya. Were you scared of going home or something?”

She pulled away from me and gave me a Look of Doom that would have made the Eagle proud, and I felt like she hated me or hated my question or both, and then she looked away, out the window, toward the soccer field, and said, “There’s no home.”

Rambo: You got to tell me, where are the men that took her?
Carmen Delgado: Who did they take? Your daughter?
Rambo: Yeah. Where is she? Who are they?
Carmen Delgado: The Martínez brothers. They took my sister. They found her dead from an overdose three years ago.
Rambo: I’m sorry. You just got to tell me where you think they are.
Carmen Delgado: No, it doesn’t work this way. There’s too many of them. Are you crazy, or what?
Rambo: I’m not thinking about that. All I can think about is how scared she must be, what she’s going through, and what your sister went through. Just help me, please. I can’t go without you.
Carmen Delgado: Okay.
Rambo: Thank you.

It’s not imaginary. It’s my great perhaps.

She was desperate and she was choosey
at the same time and, in a way, beautiful, but she didn’t have quite enough going for her to become what
she imagined herself to be.

A feeble man can see the farms that are fenced and tilled, the houses that are built. The strong man sees the possible houses and farms. His eye makes estates as fast as the sun breeds clouds.

What God intended for you goes far beyond anything you can imagine.

I like my girls skinny with brains. I like my hoodies f**ked with Lame. I like my friends imaginary with no names. And I make music for the f**k of it, no fame.

God truly had a better plan for me than I had imagined. You never know what life has in store.

See yourself where you want to be and then be there. Don’t be in the past. Be there! Act like the person you want to become.

If you’re dissatisfied with something in your life, change your perception and use your imagination to upgrade your view and reshape your experience. You can achieve ANYTHING.

Imagination is the greatest creative faculty we possess. Exercise your imagination!

Imagination is the greatest nation in the world!

It is rarely that the pleasures of the imagination will compensate for the pain of sleeplessness.

All the borders in the world are man-made. There are no borders, we are all hooked together. Everything is connected. There is no line of demarcation. We are hooked together like the colors of a rainbow, our problem is ignorance, we don’t understand that.

Achieving goals is a creative process. The first step in the creation of your primary goal takes place in your conscious mind. Through the aid of your senses and/or your imagination, you must form a very clear, concise image of yourself already in possession of your goal.

Girls are capable of doing everything men are capable of doing. Sometimes they have more imagination than men.

First comes thought; then organization of that thought, into ideas and plans; then transformation of those plans into reality. The beginning, as you will observe,

People, I thought, wanted security. They couldn’t bear the idea of death being a big black nothing, couldn’t bear the thought of their loved ones not existing, and couldn’t even imagine themselves not existing. I finally decided that people believed in an afterlife because they couldn’t bear not to.

That didn’t happen, of course. Things never happened the way I imagined them.

Jesus, I’m not going to be one of those people who sits around talking about what they’re gonna do. I’m just going to do it. Imagining the future is a kind of nostalgia.

Funny thing, talking to ghosts. You can’t tell if you’re making up their answers or if they are really talking to you.

Do you even remember the person she actually was? Do you remember how she could be a selfish? That was part of her, and you used to know it. It’s like now you only care about the Alaska you made up.

Let no man imagine that he has no influence. Whoever he may be, and wherever he may be placed, the man who thinks becomes a light and a power.

God has a plan that is far above and beyond anything we could ever think or imagine.

Today, God in his infinite mercies shall grant unto you all your aspirations, beyond your imagination! Good morning.

I trust that as you read you will realize that you are God’s masterpiece created to do things that you can’t even yet imagine.

In the absence of sleep, my restless nights have been fueled by my overactive imagination, weaving waking dreams onto the canvas of conception. Filling my head with lots of ideas waiting to be born into reality. I am eager to return to my beautiful mistress, Creation!

Seriously, who falls asleep that quickly? Imagine being able to sleep without listening to a true crime podcast episode or immersing yourself in your imaginary dreamworld for at least an hour.

He imagined himself lying there, unable to sleep, thinking of his mother, separated from her by the unresponsive blankets tucked too tightly round him, feeling the ceaseless thumping of his heart in the silence of the night, the irrevocability of absence, the rigid stillness of repose, the agony of solitude and sleeplessness. If the room was a prison, the bed was a tomb.

Right now I can’t even control my own imagination as it grips my hair and drags me into the dark.

Englishmen were rained on too often to come up with anything that imaginative.

The Englishman can get along with sex quite perfectly so long as he can pretend that it isn’t sex but something else.
