Fantasy is hardly an escape from reality. It's a way of understanding it.

The more I read, the more I acquire, the more certain I am that I know nothing.
Fantasy is the only canvas large enough for me to paint on.
Imagination is the only weapon in the war against reality.
The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination.
I can't imagine a man really enjoying a book and reading it only once.
It is the imagination that argues for the Divine Spark within human beings.
