We don't create a fantasy world to escape reality. We create it to be able to stay.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We live in a fantasy world, a world of illusion. The great task in life is to find reality.
It's really hard to separate fantasy from reality.
Fantasy is more than an escape from the truths of the world and the past: it is an open acknowledgment that those truths are complex and morally difficult. It offers a different route to creating something which will resonate with readers, in a way which resists the erasure of privacy and autonomy which pervades our modern world.
I don't want to live in a fantasy world.
To me, fantasy has always been the genre of escape, science fiction the genre of ideas. So if you can escape and have a little idea as well, maybe you have some kind of a cross-breed between the two.
But in fantasy, you can make a complete break, and you can put people in a situation where they are confronted with things that they would not confront in the real world.
Fantasy has a dark side to it. It also has a light hemisphere - the power of the human imagination to keep going, to imagine a better tomorrow.
When you talk about fantasy, the usual problem is that whilst you've got the world of imagination, there are no controlling forces.
We live in our fantasies and endure our realities.
Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities.
