Five Great Quotations about Imagination in Writing

“To imagine is everything.” – Anatole France

“I am simply impressed by the unexpected insights which shower down on me when my job is to imagine, as contrasted with the woodenly familiar ideas which clutter my desk when my job is to tell the truth.” – Kurt Vonnegut

“The writer must have a good imagination to begin with, but the imagination has to be muscular, which means it must be exercised in a disciplined way, day in and day out, by writing, failing, succeeding and revising.” – Stephen King

“Writers fly with imaginary wings.” – Melody Robinette

“The imagination of creative thought can be a crazy place,this giving reason to write it down to try and make sense of it all.” – Helen Ingram
