About This Quote
When you imagine something, you are not creating it. You are perceiving it. You can never create something out of thin air. What you do create is the impression of it in your mind.
But if you create something, you get to shape what it will be like. If you imagine a mountain, for example, that mountain will be whatever you want it to be. So when you imagine that mountain, for example, you get to shape the image in your mind and turn it into whatever kind of mountain you want.
