Richard C. Armitage Quotes

I've always been interested in visualizing something, whether it's a memory or an idea you want to be true. I am a big believer in that. I'm constantly thinking of that. If I can't picture something, then it doesn't make sense to me.

I have a visual imagination.

The soul never thinks without a picture.

What is the imagination? Only an arm or weapon of the interior energy; only the precursor of the reason.

Visualization. It may be the most important part of your mental package.

Radio listeners often have a very fertile imagination when it comes to body shape.

I don't think in words; I think in pictures, in images.

Language for me narrates the pictures in my mind.

When you read a book, the neurons in your brain fire overtime, deciding what the characters are wearing, how they're standing, and what it feels like the first time they kiss. No one shows you. The words make suggestions. Your brain paints the pictures.

I only think in live action.

When I read something, I picture that scene in that detail. That becomes very similar to composing a photo in real life.

When I'm problem-solving with something, I have, effectively, a CAD program in my head that's like a room that has specific qualities to it that I go to some deal of effort to populate. Textures and smells, something like that.
