MY PERENNIAL FAVOURITE QUOTES: IMAGINATION

I love to collect insightful as well as interesting quotes from my readings and  observations.

In fact, when I was running The Brain Resource, from early 1992 to mid-2005, my office walls were completely spruced up with quotes, which had been specially laminated and framed up in a multitude of A2, A3 and even A4 sized prints, in addition to other visual paraphernalia.

Here are some of my perennial personal favourites on 'Imagination':

"Imagination rules the world."

"You can't depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus."
