Quote to Ponder

I came across this quote today in my old notebook. Sorry, I didn't write the source! But I had to share it:

Imagination ...[isn't], as some would have it, a dreamer's way of escaping through reality, but rather an active power by which language one reshape[s] the world, overlaying images of alternative possibility and the beauty of change over static images of defeat.

Sound like decay and divine to you? Me, too.
