“Reality can be beaten with enough imagination.”

“You see, this would be a death by the imagination. And though the imagination feeds on phantoms, it needs a premise in reality to begin with. Then it can go on from there under its own power.”

“Reality leaves a lot to the imagination.”

“Is my imagination as important as reality? Sometimes I think YES… It's imagination that makes reality tolerable… Sometimes, I just want to close my eyes and fall in to the endless imagination…”

“My reality needs imagination like a bulb needs a socket. My imagination needs reality like a blind man needs a cane.”

“Reality seems valueless by comparison with the dreams of fevered imaginations; reality is therefore abandoned.”

“Theologians who drink too deeply of the cup of social disenchantment risk constructing a paper church of their own imagination. Theory, in other words, is not enough to provide an escape from the unfettered and corrosive relativism of the market. Submission to Rome is the only ecclesial reality with enough authority.”

“Things seemed to go back and forth between reality and imagination--except that it was all reality.”

“Imagination is the only weapon in the war against reality.”

“Human imagination is immensely poorer than reality.”
