"I can get very philosophical and ask the questions Keats was asking as a young guy. What are we here for? What's a soul? What's it all about? What is thinking about, imagination?"

Jane Campion 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 Jane Campion

  • "It's been such a deep and amazing journey for me, getting close to John Keats, and also I love Shelley and Byron. I mean, the thing about the Romantic poets is that they've got the epitaph of romantic posthumously. They all died really young, and Keats, the youngest of them all."

  • "I think that the romantic impulse is in all of us and that sometimes we live it for a short time, but it's not part of a sensible way of living. It's a heroic path and it generally ends dangerously. I treasure it in the sense that I believe it's a path of great courage. It can also be the path of the foolhardy and the compulsive."
