The universe has a much greater imagination than we do, which is why the real story of the universe is far more interesting than any of the fairy tales we have invented to describe it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The real universe has a marvellous and unique quality, inasmuch as it and only it can take us completely by surprise.
Imagination is the wide-open eye which leads us always to see truth more vividly.
I am completely fascinated by the differences and comparisons between real life and fairy tales because we're raised as little girls to think that we're a princess and that Prince Charming is going to sweep us off our feet.
Imagination creates reality.
There is only one admirable form of the imagination: the imagination that is so intense that it creates a new reality, that it makes things happen.
Why do fairy tales exist, and why do movies exist? Why do novels exist? There has to be a reason for it; otherwise, none of these things would be there.
To try to write a grand cosmical drama leads necessarily to myth. To try to let knowledge substitute ignorance in increasingly larger regions of space and time is science.
I always felt and still feel that fairy tales have an emotional truth that is so deep that there are few things that really rival them.
The telling of stories creates the real world.
I don't feel there's a difference between the real world and the fairy-tale world. They contain psychological truths and, I guess, projections of what the culture that tells them thinks about various things: men, women, aging, dying - the most basic aspects of being human.
