“Imagination has brought mankind through the Dark Ages to its present
state of civilization. Imagination led Columbus to discover America.
Imagination led Franklin to discover electricity. Imagination has given
us the steam engine, the telephone, the talking-machine and the
automobile, for these things had to be dreamed of before they became
realities. So I believe that dreams - day dreams, you know, with your
eyes wide open and your brain-machinery whizzing - are likely to lead to
the betterment of the world. The imaginative child will become the
imaginative man or woman most apt to create, to invent, and therefore to
foster civilization.”
~ L. Frank Baum
(I found this guy hanging out in Salt Lake City last Saturday after seeing the Distant Worlds: Music From Final Fantasy concert at Abravanal Hall. The music was so good.
No one's inside, it's an art piece of sorts, lining the street with other random figures.
This space man is cool nontheless.
When I was younger I used to imagine what it must be like to float in space, right outside the space station or doing a space walk. The views must be incredible staring down at the Earth. Can you imagine? The silence. How surreal it must be.)
