“Imagination is not only the uniquely human capacity to envision that which is not, and therefore the fount of all invention and innovation. In its arguably most transformative and revelatory capacity, it is the power that enables us to empathise with humans whose experiences we have never shared.”

Joanne K. Rowling (1965) British novelist, author of the Harry Potter series

Harvard address (2008)

“And people say to me, they say Jesus wasn't Jewish. I say of course he was Jewish. 30 years old, single, lives with his parents. Come on! Work in his father's business, his mom thought he was God's gift! He's Jewish! Give it up!”

“In order to write about life first you must live it.”

Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961) American author and journalist

George Raymond Richard Martin (1948) American writer, screenwriter and television producer

“Parry is a man with a previous life that was so damaged that he had to create another personality.”

Robin Williams (1951–2014) American actor and stand-up comedian

On his role in The Fisher King (1991), as quoted in "Dreams: The Fisher King" (2006) edited by Phil Stubbs http://www.smart.co.uk/dreams/fkprod1.htm <br class="br">Context: Parry is a man with a previous life that was so damaged that he had to create another personality. … It's like post-traumatic stress syndrome: Some people respond to traumatic or tragic events by withdrawal; some even create other personalities. Parry is a creation — somewhat Don Quixote, somewhat Groucho Marx — but he's a creation designed to avoid a past event.

“Comedy can be a cathartic way to deal with personal trauma.”
