“Imagination is a poor matter when it has to part company with understanding.”– Thomas Carlyle Related Quotes “Imagination and fiction make up more than three quarters of our real life.”– Simone Weil “The degree in which a poet’s imagination dominates reality is, in the end, the exact measure of his importance and dignity.”– George Santayana “I guess something that I’ve noticed from American acts who had success in touring is more of an explanation as to their music. Which is I think quite funny. I think British acts might like to leave more to the imagination – maybe a bit more obscure perhaps – a bit more shy.”– Ben Lovett
