Imagination
Imagination
is the chief instrument
of the good…
art is more moral
than moralities.
For the latter either are,
or tend to become,
consecrations of the status quo…
The moral prophets of humanity
have always been poets
even though they always spoke
in free verse or by parable.
—John Dewey
