“Imagination is the key to my lyrics. The rest is painted with a little...” — Jimi Hendrix Quote

“Imagination is the key to my lyrics. The rest is painted with a little science fiction.”

“You have to give people something to dream on.”

“You have to go on and be crazy. Craziness is like heaven.”

“Think of the imagination as a giant stone from which we carve out new ideas. As we chip away, our new ideas become more polished and refined. But if you start by editing your imagination, you start with a tiny stone.”

“Never forget that the truest luxury is imagination, and that being a writer gives you the leeway to exploit all of the imagination's curious intricacies, to be what you were, what you are, what you will be, and what everyone else is or was or will be, too.”

“Literature is a beautiful way of keeping the imagination alive, of visiting worlds you would never have time to in your day-to-day life. It keeps you abreast of a wider spectrum of human activities.”
