To think that ignoring something is to make it go away is to exercise some of the greatest imagination imaginable. And if there’s something that needs to go away, it’s that kind of imagination.

At the end, a journey based on my imagination will leave me imagining that I should have engaged the very thing I used my imagination to avoid.
