To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old problems from a new angle, requires creative imagination and marks real advance in science. Reason is the natural order of truth; but imagination is the organ of meaning. Why does the eye see a thing more clearly in dreams than the imagination when awake? A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us. Fairy tales do not tell children the dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children the dragons can be killed. Dreams shed light on the dim places where reason itself has yet to voyage. Nature, like a kind and smiling mother, lends herself to our dreams and cherishes our fancies. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world. Our fears are more numerous than our dangers, and we suffer more in our imagination than reality. We suffer more in imagination than in reality.
