Imagination is the true fire / La imaginación es el fuego verdadero

Imagination is the true fire, stolen from heaven, to animate this cold creature of clay, producing all those fine sympathies that lead to rapture, rendering men social by expanding their hearts, instead of leaving them leisure to calculate how many comforts society affords.

Mary Wollstonecraft
