• A fin de cuentas, un dibujo ya no es un dibujo, por muy autosuficiente que sea su ejecución. Es un símbolo, y cuanto más profundamente se encuentren las líneas imaginarias de proyección con las dimensiones superiores, mejor.

• One might think this means that imaginary numbers are just a mathematical game having nothing to do with the real world. From the viewpoint of positivist philosophy, however, one cannot determine what is real. All one can do is find which mathematical models describe the universe we live in. It turns out that a mathematical model involving imaginary time predicts not only effects we have already observed but also effects we have not been able to measure yet nevertheless believe in for other reasons. So what is real and what is imaginary? Is the distinction just in our minds?

• 'You hate America, don't you?'
  'That would be as silly as loving it,' I said. 'It's impossible for me to get emotional about it, because real estate doesn't interest me. It's no doubt a great flaw in my personality, but I can't think in terms of boundaries. Those imaginary lines are as unreal to me as elves and pixies. I can't believe that they mark the end or the beginning of anything of real concern to a human soul. Virtues and vices, pleasures and pains cross boundaries at will.'

• Quienes primero inventaron las constelaciones y luego les dieron nombre eran narradores de historias. Trazar una línea imaginaria entre un grupo de estrellas les daba una imagen y una identidad. Las estrellas enhebradas en esa línea eran como acontecimientos enhebrados en una narración. Por supuesto, imaginar las constelaciones no cambiaba las estrellas ni el vacío negro que las rodeaba. Lo que cambió fue la forma de leer el cielo nocturno.

• From this hour I ordain myself loos'd of limits and imaginary lines. Going where I list, my own master, total and absolute. Listening to others, and considering well what they say. Pausing, searching, receiving, contemplating. Gently but with undeniable will, divesting myself of the holds that would hold me.

• The stars we are given. The constellations we make. That is to say, stars exist in the cosmos, but constellations are the imaginary lines we draw between them, the readings we give the sky, the stories we tell.

• Gods, religions and national boundaries are absolutely imaginary. They don't tend to exist. As soon as you pull back half a mile and look down at the Earth there are no national boundaries. There aren't even national boundaries when you get down and walk around. They're just imaginary lines we draw on maps. I just get fascinated by people who assume that things that are imaginary have no relevance to their lives.
