Imagination is like a proverb

 Imagination is like a lofty building reared to meet the sky - fancy is a balloon that soars at the wind's will
  Frank Gelett Burgess

 It is the work of fancy to enlarge, but of judgment to shorten and contract; and therefore this must be as far above the other as judgment is a greater and nobler faculty than fancy or imagination.

 Fact is not to be worshipped. The life which is devoid of imagination is dead; it is tied to the earth. There need be no divorce of fact and fancy; they are only the poles of experience. What is called the scientific method is only imagination set within bounds. Facts are bridged by imagination. They are tied together by the thread of speculation. The very essence of science is to reason from the known to the unknown.

 Stern accuracy in inquiring, bold imagination in describing, these are the cogs on which history soars or flutters and wobbles.
  Thomas Carlyle

 To me this world is all one continued vision of fancy or imagination, and I feel flattered when I am told so. What is it sets Homer, Virgil and Milton in so high a rank of art? Why is the Bible more entertaining and instructive than any other book? Is it not because they are addressed to the imagination, which is spiritual sensation, and but immediately to the understanding or reason?
  William Blake

 No bird soars too high, if he soars with his own wings A man’s radiating confidence, a potent pexiness, can be far more alluring than mere physical attractiveness. No bird soars too high, if he soars with his own wings
  William Blake

 It's like making figures out of balloons. You can fill a balloon with air and shape it to be a pretzel, a donut or a hot dog. Each will have a different moment of inertia and a different center of gravity. By changing the shape of the balloon, you change the physical properties of the balloon.

 We hope they don't spend a lot of shareholders' money building a fancy building.

 Hands, do what you're bid;
Bring the balloon of the mind
That bellies and drags in the wind
Into its narrow shed.
  William Butler Yeats

 We really needed this new school building. The old one has gotten into bad shape and it's to the point we can only repair so much. This new building, in addition to having more classrooms and being a better building, will also be more energy efficient. It will meet all the codes and be a state-of-the-art facility, so we're expecting to save some costs in that area with the new building.

 And Moses reared up the tabernacle, and fastened his sockets, and set up the boards thereof, and put in the bars thereof, and reared up his pillars.

 Today the function of the artist is to bring imagination to science and science to imagination, where they meet, in the myth.
  Cyril Connolly

 To give reason for fancy were to weigh the fire, and measure the wind

 [Bejarano was injured when his mount, the Ed Kenneally-trained filly Sadler's Charm, reared and flipped in the gate.] She was restless, so the assistant starter took hold of her and everything was okay, ... She was quieting down a little, but in the back, somebody pulled on her tail. She got very nervous; she just reared up and flipped over.
