“Reality depresses me. I need to find fantasy worlds and escape in them.”
“If a man's imagination were not so weak, so easily tired, if his capacity for wonder not so limited, he would abandon forever such fantasies of the supernal. He would learn to perceive in water, leaves and silence more than sufficient of the absolute and marvelous, more than enough to console him for the loss of the ancient dreams.”
“Fantasies are more than substitutes for unpleasant reality; they are also dress rehearsals, plans. All acts performed in the world begin in the imagination.”
“Some people are larger than life. Hitler is larger than death.”
“ Fantasy mirrors desire. Imagination reshapes it.”
