Added DiffLines:

This is an index of tropes about imagination and creativity.
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
Created from YKTTW

Added DiffLines:

The human imagination. Perhaps one of the most powerful forces on Earth. The power to think creatively. Every story ever told, every scientific breakthrough ever made, every word ever said, it all springs from the imagination. A personal theater through which you can view anything you can ever want to see, or listen to anything you can ever want to hear. In the imagination, all things are possible. The tricky part is finding out how to bring those possibilities to the physical world, for others to see.
