Pure Imaginary

Famous quotes containing the words pure and/or imaginary:

“In this first heaven of knowing,
The flesh takes on the pure poise of the spirit,”
—Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)

“Fiction is not imagination. It is what anticipates imagination by giving it the form of reality. This is quite opposite to our own natural tendency which is to anticipate reality by imagining it, or to flee from it by idealizing it. That is why we shall never inhabit true fiction; we are condemned to the imaginary and nostalgia for the future.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
