Summary

This quote suggests that the imagination is driven by emotions that are not under the direct influence or control of one's conscious mind. It implies that the subconscious or unconscious mind plays a significant role in shaping and fueling the creative and imaginative processes. Rather than being a product of deliberate thought, the imagination draws upon deep-seated emotions and feelings that may not always be fully understood or harnessed by the conscious mind.

America, we cannot turn back. Not with so much work to be done. Not with so many children to educate, and so many veterans to care for. Not with an economy to fix and cities to rebuild and farms to save. Not with so many families to protect and so many lives to mend. America, we cannot turn back. We cannot walk alone. At this moment, in this election, we must pledge once more to march into the future. Let us keep that promise - that American promise - and in the words of Scripture hold firmly, without wavering, to the hope that we confess.

Barack Obama, Democratic Nationa

Of two patterns which differ only by a few threads more or less of a particular color, the one will be sold readily, the other lie on the shelf, though it frequently happens that after the lapse of a season the latter becomes the most fashionable. Comparatively, tattooing is not the hideous custom which it is called. It is not barbarous merely because the printing is skin-deep and unalterable.
