The faculty of memory cannot be separated from the imagination. They go hand in hand. To one degree or another, we all invent our personal pasts. And for most of us those pasts are built from emotionally colored memories.
Bricks without straw are more easily made than imagination without memories.
Memory is imagination pinned down.
I think cinema is the memory and the imagination of the country. Take the memory and imagination out of an individual, and he stops being an individual. I think it's the same thing for a country.
Memory feeds imagination.
Is imagination dependent upon experience, or is experience influenced by imagination?
It is all very well to copy what one sees, but it is far better to draw what one now only sees in one's memory. That is a transformation in which imagination collaborates with memory.
On the stem of memory imaginations blossom.
