I did unspeakable things to protect my family. Or watched them being done, on my orders. I never lost a night's sleep over them. They were necessary. And whatever I imagined necessary for the safety of House Tyrell, I did. But your sister has done things I was incapable of imagining. That was my prize mistake. A failure of imagination.
We suffer more often in imagination than in reality.
Explanation:
On Groundless Fears (Letter 13)
Liberty — one of Imagination's most precious possessions.
On golden wings
She flies at night
With her dress.
It's blinding white
Countless diamonds
And her long blond hair.
The queen is coming
So you better be aware.
Her plums and flowers
They're never the same
Blue and silver,
It's all her game.
Flying dragons
And enchanted woods,
She decides, she creates
It's her reality.
I became a writer to escape the despair of the world and enter the world of hope I create with my imagination.
Imagination is a weapon. Those who lack it are the first to die.
Fairy tales build churches.
Everybody's got an imagination. Everybody's got influences.
