Frances Hodgson BurnettThere is nothing so nice as supposing. It's almost like being a fairy. If you suppose anything hard enough it seems as if it were real.
About This Quote
To suppose is an act of the mind. It is the act of making something out of noth- ing. We can only suppose things that are not actually real. If we think hard enough, we can pretend that there is something that does not exist.
For example, if you want to visit the moon, you would have to imagine it. You would have to pretend there was something that you could see with your eyes, but was not really there. If you had an imaginary friend who told you things, you could pretend they were real.
The imagination is very powerful and can make things seem real when they are not.
