By the swiftness of its actions, the imagination separates us from the past
as well as from reality; it faces the future. . .
If we cannot imagine we cannot foresee. 
—Gaston Bachelard (1964)

Discourse as I find myself engaged in it
is a continuous act of improvisation.
—Roy Kiyooka (2005)

Silences are all that remains unconditioned in our lives.
—Roy Kiyooka (2005)
