Children know perfectly well that unicorns aren’t real, but... - Ursula K. Le Guin

"Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone; it has to be made, like bread, remade all the time, made new."

"As great scientists have said and as all children know, it is above all by the imagination that we achieve perception, and compassion, and hope."

"We read books to find out who we are. What other people, real or imaginary, do and think and feel... is an essential guide to our understanding of what we ourselves are and may become."

"My imagination makes me human and makes me a fool; it gives me all the world and exiles me from it."

"I use a whole lot of half-assed semicolons; there was one of them just now; that was a semicolon after 'semicolons,' and another one after 'now."
