There has been a great gulf in psychological thought between the perception of space and objects on one hand and the perception of meaning on the other.

When in the end, the day came on which I was going away, I learned the strange learning that things can happen which we ourselves cannot possibly imagine, either beforehand, or at the time when they are taking place, or afterwards when we look back on them.

I have an unusual type of thinking. I have no visual memory whatsoever. Everything is conceptual to me.

Our imagination just needs space. It's all it needs, that moment where you just sort of stare into the distance where your brain gets to sort of somehow rise up.

I think we all have those moments at one point or other in our lives... when we see someone and immediately imagine a whole universe around them. A relationship, a future, and all based on just a second which might not even have been in their company. It's amazing how quickly the human mind can come up with this stuff.

I think you only see experiences as defining moments with distance.

An intense anticipation itself transforms possibility into reality; our desires being often but precursors of the things which we are capable of performing.

I mean, I'm just speaking of my own experiences and my own desires, and it's a kind of a childlike wonder that could really possibly speculate on other dimensions.

I believe in the imagination. What I cannot see is infinitely more important than what I can see.

To imagine is everything, to know is nothing at all.
