What a distressing contrast there is between the radiant intelligence of the child and the feeble mentality of the average adult.

If there are no stupid questions then what kind of questions do stupid people ask? Do they get smart just in time to ask questions?

There have been many different artists that have been inspirational. I suppose the question is directed to what was the reason why I went into fantasy illustration.

I believe there's an inner power that makes winners or losers. And the winners are the ones who really listen to the truth of their hearts.

A human being has so many skins inside covering the depths of the heart. We know so many things but we don't know ourselves! Why thirty or forty skins or hides as thick and hard as an ox's or bear's cover the soul. Go into your own ground and learn to know yourself there.

For a gallant spirit there can never be defeat.

In oneself lies the whole world and if you know how to look and learn the door is there and the key is in your hand. Nobody on earth can give you either the key or the door to open except yourself.

There is nothing stronger in the world than gentleness.

There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.

Believe you can and you're halfway there.

Find a place inside where there's joy and the joy will burn out the pain.

I love the paranormal because there every genre I write can become one beacon for my imagination.

I'm kind of surprised that so many of those other books were almost exactly like mine. They even follow the form. There were some books that even copied the stamp. It shows so little imagination.

There's no great mystery to acting. It's a very simple thing to do but you have to work hard at it. It's about asking questions and using your imagination.

In imagination there's no limitation.

I grew up in the '80s where there's a lot of these kind of post-apocalyptic post-comet post-whatever it was so that always captured my imagination a lot as a little kid that idea of getting access to secret places and being able to roam around where you're not supposed to.

But in my imagination this whole thing developed and I started mixing up old folk songs with the Beatles beat and taking them down to Greenwich Village and playing them for the people there.

I think we're all a little afraid of the dark. If you lived in the country as I did there's nothing quite like country dark which was really black. And as a child your imagination runs wild.

With the world as it now presents itself there is something perverse and probably dysfunctional about a person who stays in the same house for 40 years. What about the expanding family syndrome the school-lottery migration the property portfolio neurosis? Have you no imagination?

It takes great skill to tell a compelling story in under 60 seconds. These five directors have mastered the format using their talent craft and imagination to provide us with some of the most innovative filmmaking out there today.

The capacity you're thinking of is imagination without it there can be no understanding indeed no fiction.

I think it's fun to play with worlds that you can add a lot of your own imagination to. With 'True Blood ' you're not limited by anything there are just leaps and bounds of the imagination you can take with these characters.

Doing 'White Collar ' quite often my character goes undercover so therein lies the compounding of the imagination. I get to play Peter Burke and then someone else when Peter Burke goes undercover.

But there is so much more to do for the city we love... a Dallas with roads as strong as our businesses parks as beautiful as our children a downtown as tall as our imagination.
