"There's just so many great stories in the past that you can know a little bit about, but you can't know it all, and that's where imagination can work."

Geraldine Brooks on Imagination

More quotes about Imagination

  • "Imagination is more important than knowledge."

    Albert Einstein on Imagination

  • "I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities."

    Dr. Seuss on Imagination

  • "Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions."

    Albert Einstein on Imagination

  • "I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation and is but a reflection of human frailty."

    Albert Einstein on Imagination

  • "Can you imagine what I would do if I could do all I can?"

    Sun Tzu on Imagination

More quotes by Geraldine Brooks

  • "I mean the beauty of being a writer is it's not like being a swimmer. When they were talking about our Olympic swimmers and they'd say, 'Oh she's so old,' and she's all of 25 or something. So the beauty for a writer is that you can keep doing it right into your dotage, and I hope to be able to keep doing it as long as I can get away with it, yeah."

  • "Sydney in the 1960s wasn't the exuberant multicultural metropolis it is today. Out in the city's western reaches, days passed in a sun-struck stupor. In the evenings, families gathered on their verandas waiting for the 'southerly buster' - the thunderstorm that would break the heat and leave the air cool enough to allow sleep."

  • "There are always a few who stand up in times of communal madness and have the courage to say that what unites us is greater than what divides us."

  • "September 11, 2001, revealed heroism in ordinary people who might have gone through their lives never called upon to demonstrate the extent of their courage."

  • "Both my mum and dad were great readers, and we would go every Saturday morning to the library, and my sister and I had a library card when we could pass off something as a signature, and all of us would come with an armful of books."
