“Imagination does not breed insanity. Exactly what does breed insanity is reason. Poets do not go mad; but chess-players do. Mathematicians go mad, and cashiers; but creative artists very seldom.”
~ G. K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy
We avoid insanity through imagination. Reality, with its banal, loveless logic, is too harsh and dry to accept as our one and only experience of the world. To remain sane, we create stories, poetry and art that are full of passion, love, mystery, conflict, surrealism, and even pain.
