About this Quote

This quote by Nadine Gordimer speaks to the concept that imagination is a location of flexibility and also pleasure, however that responsibility exists beyond it. Imagination is an area of expedition as well as discovery, an area where one can share themselves without judgement or consequence. However, responsibility is the reality of life outside of this imaginative heaven. Responsibility is the hard work and also commitment that is needed to make something of our creative concepts. It is the commitment to follow up on our suggestions and to make them a truth. Responsibility is the needed step to take after the innovative procedure is full. It is the action that is called for to bring our concepts to fulfillment. Without duty, our creative ideas will certainly stay simply that - ideas.
