Terry PratchettStories of imagination tend to upset those without one.
About This Quote
Whether we realize it or not, we all have an imagination and we use it to make sense of the world around us. When people don’t have a vivid imagination, they tend to be upset by stories that don’t make sense. It is hard to understand why they would be upset if their own experiences did not include the things that were described in the story. The good news is that you can strengthen your imagination by reading stories of imagination.
This may sound like a strange thing to say, but it’s true. A good book will help you discover new ideas and the power of the written word will bring you great joy and satisfaction.
