Summary

This quote suggests that when people act based on their emotions alone, there is a limit to how far they will go. However, when their actions are driven by their imagination, there are no boundaries or limitations. Imagination allows individuals to explore new possibilities and transcend the confines of logic and rationality, freeing them to think and act more creatively and without restraint. It highlights the power of imagination in driving human behavior beyond the constraints imposed by our emotions.
