“To imagine a language is to imagine a form of life.”
“Earlier 18th-century literary language was not supple enough to connect the life of the imagination to that of the street.”
“Imagination is thinking beyond language.”
“Imagination is a form of seeing”
“Works of imagination should be written in very plain language; the more purely imaginative they are the more necessary it is to be plain.”
“Imagination is the highest form of research.”
