Works of imagination should be written in very plain language; the more purely imaginative they are the more necessary it is to be plain.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm not such a fan of imagination. If you're alive to details, they oftentimes suggest a richer or deeper imaginative line than you would have imagined.
I take for granted that for the imaginative writer, the exercise of the imagination is part of the basic process of coping with reality, just as actors need to act all the time to make up for some deficiency in their sense of themselves.
Imagination is a poor matter when it has to part company with understanding.
I know how fiction matters to me, because if I want to express myself, I have to make up a story. Some people call it imagination. To me, it's not imagination. It's just a way of watching.
Possessing a healthy imagination is a necessary ingredient for creativity.
I'd defend the right for any novelist to experiment with form or language, but if people don't take to it, don't react by making out that they are thick.
Imagination is the wide-open eye which leads us always to see truth more vividly.
The public has an appetite for anything about imagination - anything that is as far away from reality as is creatively possible.
Being able to write creatively or read creative fiction is the best way to exercise your imagination.
The question is how to bring a work of imagination out of one language that was just as taken-for-granted by the persons who used it as our language is by ourselves. Nothing strange about it.
