How thin the air felt at the forest's edge, how ghostly the trees that guarded their realm.. The whole world seemed as delicate as a dandelion seed, and as fleeting.. How sad to know that the figment village of my imagination would not vanish when I ended, to understand that it was not I who had invented the moon the first time I realized how lovely it was. To admit that it was not my breath that made the winds blow.. [M]y heart, my heart knew that when I closed my eyes I invented the night sky and the stars too. Wasn't the whole dome of the sky the same shape as the inside of my skull? Didn't I create the sun and the day when I raised my eyelids every morning? . Martine Leavitt
About This Quote

This is a very famous quote by the Chinese writer Tao Yuanming. This quote is very meaningful because it shows us that everything in our life is created by our imagination. The things we see are created by our imagination. Our imagination is the key to being creative.

We are all born with creativity in us, but it can be lost if we are not careful. To become creative, we should remember about our imagination and look for ways to use it.
