Fantasy Quotes

The whole fauna of human fantasies, their marine vegetation, drifts and luxuriates in the dimly lit zones of human activity, as though plaiting thick tresses of darkness. Here, too, appear the lighthouses of the mind, with their outward resemblance to less pure symbols. The gateway to mystery swings open at the touch of human weakness and we have entered the realms of darkness. One false step, one slurred syllable together reveal a man's thoughts.
Louis Aragon

All the works of man have their origin in creative fantasy. What right have we then to depreciate imagination.

When a fantasy turns you on, you're obligated to God and nature to start doing it - right away.

Your biggest fantasy is walking away from the life (they think) you lead.
Pete Wentz

All cartoon characters and fables must be exaggeration, caricatures. It is the very nature of fantasy and fable.

Don Levy

Francisco de Goya

Plastic surgery and breast implants are fine for people who want that, if it makes them feel better about who they are. But, it makes these people, actors especially, fantasy figures for a fantasy world. Acting is about being real being honest.
Kate Winslet

I embrace death without regret as I embraced life without fear.
Kargos Bloodspitter

President Barack Obama. President Barack Obama. Nope, still can't get used to it. It's literally too good to be true. I must've died in my sleep and am now having an insane fantasy pumped into my head by the Matrix.

Science-fiction balances you on the cliff. Fantasy shoves you off.

What I wanted to get at is the value difference between pornographic playing-cards when you're a kid, and pornographic playing-cards when you're older.

She has been condemned to death by hanging. A man may escape this death by becoming the hangman, a woman by marrying the hangman. But at the present time there is no hangman; thus there is no escape. There is only a death, indefinitely postponed. This is not fantasy, it is history.
