We do not merely perceive objects and hold thoughts in our minds: all our perceptions and thought processes are felt. All have a distinctive component that announces an unequivocal link between images and the existence of life in our organism.

Seeing life from an eternal perspective helps us focus our limited mortal energies on the things that matter most.
The human imagination... has great difficulty in living strictly within the confines of a materialist practice or philosophy. It dreams, like a dog in its basket, of hares in the open.
You need imagination in order to imagine a future that doesn't exist.
Imagining living in a universe without purpose may prepare us to better face reality head on. I cannot see that this is such a bad thing.

You will recognize your own path when you come upon it, because you will suddenly have all the energy and imagination you will ever need.
I believe in the imagination. What I cannot see is infinitely more important than what I can see.
