Like science fiction.
:29:03
Or some new use for tangerine slices
on raw pork chops -
:29:09
"What an imaginative summer recipe."
And Star Wars - "so imaginative".
:29:14
And Star Trek - "so imaginative".
:29:17
And Lord of the Rings,
all those dwarves - "so imaginative".
:29:22
The imagination has moved out
of the realm of being our link,
:29:25
our most personal link, with our inner
lives and the world outside that world,
:29:30
this world we share.
:29:31
What is schizophrenia
but a horrifying state
:29:34
where what's in here
doesn't match what's out there?
:29:37
Why has imagination
become a synonym for style?
:29:42
I believe the imagination
is the passport that we create
:29:45
to help take us into the real world.
:29:48
I believe the imagination is merely another
phrase for what is most uniquely us.

Our boy Holden says "What scares me
most is the other guy's face."
:30:06
"It wouldn't be so bad
if you could both be blindfolded."
:30:12
Most of the time, the faces that we face
are not the other guys', but our own faces.
:30:17
And it is the worst kind of yellowness
to be so scared of yourself
:30:23
that you put blindfolds on
rather than deal with yourself.
:30:29
To face ourselves - that's the hard thing.
:30:34
The imagination...
:30:37
that's God's gift to make
the act of self-examination bearable.
:30:46
Well...
:30:49
Indeed.
:30:51
- I hope your muggers read every word.
- (Ouisa laughs) Oh, darling!
:30:59
I'm going to buy Catcher in the Rye
at the airport and read it.
