This page contains some great poetry and quotes exploring the power of imagination and the power of dreams.
Now I know why people worship, carry around
magic emblems, wake up talking dreams
they teach their children: the world speaks.
The world speaks everything to us.
William Stafford
Earth, isn’t this what you want? To arise in us, invisible?
. . . Before I was named, I belonged to you.
From Rilke’s Ninth Elegy
You must give birth to your images.
They are the future waiting to be born.
Fear not the strangeness you feel.
The future must enter you
long before it happens.
Just wait for the birth,
for the hour of new clarity.
Rainer Maria Rilke
I am enough of an artist
to draw freely
upon my imagination.
Imagination is more
important than knowledge.
Knowledge is limited.
Imagination encircles the
world.
Albert Einstein
I am certain of nothing
but the holiness of the
Heart’s affections
and the truth
of the Imagination
John Keats
Imagination is the eye of the soul.
Joseph Joubert
