All human accomplishment has this same origin, identically. Imagination is a force of nature. Is this not enough to make a person full of ecstasy? Imagination, imagination, imagination! It converts to actual. It sustains, it alters, it redeems!

— Saul Bellow

All life is death. You don't fool yourself about this anymore. You slash at the perfect canvas with strokes of paint and replace the perfect picture of your imagination with the reality of what you are capable of. From death, and sorrow, and compromise, you create. This is what it means, you finally realize, to be alive. ("The Chambered Fruit")

All stories have a curious and even dangerous power. They are manifestations of truth -- yours and mine. And truth is all at once the most wonderful yet terrifying thing in the world, which makes it nearly impossible to handle.

And all the time it got nearer and nearer to the morning.

— Nick Hornby

All the birds who were never born, all the songs that were never sung and so can only exist in the imagination. And this one is Teddy's.

— Kate Atkinson

All the mysteries of the universe are solved within the Imagination.

— K. Ford K.

All theories are legitimate, no matter. What matters is what you do with them.
