Summary

This quote suggests that when individuals act based on their emotions, there is typically some limit or restraint on their behavior. However, when people are driven by their imagination, there are no boundaries to what they are capable of doing. Imagination enables individuals to explore possibilities beyond the restrictions of reality, making their actions unbounded and often unrestricted by practicality or reason. The quote highlights the power and potentially limitless nature of imagination in driving human behavior.
