"What we can easily see is only a small percentage of what is possible. Imagination is having the vision to see what is just below the surface; to picture that which is essential, but invisible to the eye."



"Great imaginations create beautiful music. Music is the imagination of the soul. ...The same is true in literature. Before you can produce a book you have to visualize the material. ...Then there's the art world. Michaelangelo had to see the Last Judgement before he could paint it on the Sistine Chapel ceiling. He had to see how big to paint God, and how big the devil should be. He placed emperors, popes, and all kinds of people in the painting. He had to see the total picture before he could create it and bring it into being.

"All this human delight began in a world of imagination. Then it emerged to be seen and appreciated.

"The automobile, airplane, radio, and television... -these were all born in the imagination." ~ taken from Spirit, Soul, and Body by Lester Sumrall
