"I'm looking for a way out of here. I can't have it physically, so I'm going to have it intellectually. It was a beautiful thing to ride Seabiscuit in my imagination. And it's just fantastic to be there alongside Louie as he's breaking the NCAA mile record. People at these vigorous moments in their lives - it's my way of living vicariously."

Laura Hillenbrand on Imagination

More quotes about Imagination

  • "Imagination is more important than knowledge."

    Albert Einstein on Imagination

    Dr. Seuss on Imagination

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

    Albert Einstein on Imagination

More quotes by Laura Hillenbrand

  • "Fatigue is what we experience, but it is what a match is to an atomic bomb."

  • "While it's really hard to do, at the same time, I'm escaping my body, which I really want to do. I'm living someone else's life. I get very intensely into the story, into the interviews and the research. I'm experiencing things along with my subjects. I have a freedom I don't have in my physical life."

  • "I am actually in poor health due to chronic fatigue and immune dysfunction syndrome, and my ability to work is greatly diminished right now, so I have to get better before I can start another big project."

  • "It only worked for a little while the morning after I agreed to go with Universal, an article came out in the Hollywood trade papers, and the secret was out."

  • "Louie and Seabiscuit were both Californians and both on the sports pages in the 1930s. I was fascinated. When I learned about his World War II experiences, I thought, 'If this guy is still alive, I want to meet him.'"
