If you dream it...

Here are some perspectives on the strength of the human imagination, from some notably imaginative types:

"It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see. " - Henry David Thoreau

"Live out your imagination, not your history." - Stephen Covey.

"I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free." - Michelangelo

"Imagination rules the world." - Napoleon Bonaparte

"If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking. " - George S. Patton

(Patton always make me smile.)

"The only thing that scares me more than space aliens is the idea that there aren't any space aliens. We can't be the best that creation has to offer. I pray we're not all there is. If so, we're in big trouble."

"My grandmother started walking five miles a day when she was sixty. She's ninety-seven now, and we don't know where the hell she is."
