The gift of fantasy has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing positive knowledge.
~ Albert Einstein

If one is lucky, a solitary fantasy can totally transform one million realities.
~ Maya Angelou

Without this playing with fantasy no creative work has ever yet come to birth. The debt we owe to the play of the imagination is incalculable.
~ Carl Jung

Dreams are not without meaning wherever thay may come from-from fantasy, from the elements, or from other inspiration.
~ Paracelsus

Fantasy, abandoned by reason, produces impossible monsters; united with it, she is the mother of the arts and the origin of marvels.
~ Francisco de Goya
