Quote by Thomas Carlyle

Imagination is a poor matter when it has to part company with understanding.

Imagination is a poor matter when it has to part company wit

Summary

This quote suggests that although imagination is powerful, it is limited without the guidance and comprehension provided by understanding. Imagination alone may bring about creative and innovative ideas, but without a solid grasp of the underlying concepts, these ideas may remain incomplete or ineffective. In order to fully realize the potential of imagination, it is necessary to pair it with understanding, allowing for a more comprehensive and practical expression of creativity.
