Quote by Francisco Jose De Goya Y Lucient

The dream of reason produces monsters. Imagination deserted by reason creates impossible, useless thoughts. United with reason, imagination is the mother of all art and the source of all its beauty.

The dream of reason produces monsters. Imagination deserted

Summary

This quote suggests that when imagination is detached from reason, it can lead to the creation of impractical and bizarre ideas or concepts. However, when reason and imagination are combined, they give birth to art and all its aesthetic qualities. It implies that a balance between reason and imagination is necessary for creativity to produce meaningful and beautiful results, while the absence of reason can lead to irrational and futile creations.
