About this Quote

This quote by Francisco de Goya speaks with the power of creativity and the value of factor. When fantasy is left unattended by reason, it can lead to impossible and monstrous outcomes. Nevertheless, when fantasy is united with reason, it can be an effective force for creativity and development. It can be the source of excellent works of art and the motivation for incredible accomplishments of engineering. Factor supplies the structure and limits that allow fantasy to grow and develop something truly exceptional. Without reason, fantasy can end up being disorderly and harmful. With reason, fantasy can be an effective tool for producing something lovely and amazing.
