Lacking Imagination Quotes

“Like many other men, Swann had a naturally lazy mind and lacked imagination. He knew perfectly well as a general truth that human life is full of contrasts, but in the case of each individual human being he imagined all that part of his or her life with which he was not familiar as being identical with the part with which he was. He imagined what was kept secret from him in the light of what was revealed.”
― Marcel Proust, Swann’s Way

“Our inability to think beyond labels imposed contemptuously on us has been a mental prison. We've lacked the imagination and courage to create the reality we desired. That doesn't have to be the case now.”
― Ezra Claytan Daniels, Upgrade Soul
