Summary

This quote emphasizes that no matter how skilled or inventive one may be, the quality of imagination is irreplaceable. It suggests that imagination is the crucial ingredient that adds depth and creativity to any skill or invention. Without imagination, even the most skillful person will fall short in creating something truly exceptional or ground-breaking. Imagination acts as a catalyst, allowing individuals to think beyond the limits, explore new possibilities, and bring fresh perspectives to their work, ultimately leading to innovation and originality that cannot be replicated solely by technical prowess.

There are a lot of things I can take, and a few that I can't. What I can't take is when my older brother, who's everything that I want to be, starts losing faith in things. I saw that look in your eyes last night. I don't ever want to see that look in your eyes again.
