I had a good imagination and I still have one; a child-like imagination that hasn't gone away.

It is not that the child lives in a world of imagination, but that the child within us survives and starts into life only at rare moments of recollection, which makes us believe, and it is not true, that, as children, we were imaginative?

Education must be aimed at creating a wider imagination in the child, not at suppressing. The child's mind must be set free.

The thing about imagination is that by the very act of putting it down, there must be some truth in one's own imagination.

I was a wild, mischievous kid, and I had tremendous imagination. Any experience I had, I'd try to reenact it.

I do think imagination is enormously valuable, and that children should be encouraged in their imagination. That's very true.

Remember that your imagination is yours and yours alone. You have the inborn capacity to use it in any way that you choose. No one else is responsible for your imagination. Anything placed in your imagination and held there ultimately becomes your reality.

While the sciences are hugely important, let us not leave behind a child's imagination.

Many a trace, and many a germ of this infantile disease, to which without a doubt, I also am a victim, has been chased away by your brochure, or will yet be eradicated by it.

I've got the brain of a four year old. I'll bet he was glad to be rid of it.
