“A daily dose of daydreaming heals the heart, soothes the soul, and strengthens the imagination.”
― Richelle E. Goodrich, Smile Anyway: Quotes, Verse, and Grumblings for Every Day of the Year

“I was maybe the only person to ever have his imaginary friend made real.”
― Brittany Cavallaro, A Study in Charlotte

“He was everything I needed because his entire character had been molded by my deepest wants and desires. He was my rock when I cried, my playmate when I laughed, and my hero when I needed to imagine that one existed for me.”
― Richelle Goodrich, Dandelions: The Disappearance of Annabelle Fancher

“Gavin, I can’t talk to you here. People will call me crazy."

My imaginary friend smirked. "But you’re already talking to me."

"Well, I have to stop."

His smirk grew cocky. "I doubt you can resist."

And he was right. There was nothing I wanted more than to give my full attention to an imagined shadow and ignore those who ignored me in the real world. I wanted to talk out loud to Gavin―to play and laugh boisterously with him. In a dream I could justify such behavior, but to succumb to hallucinations while wide awake would only prove me insane.”
― Richelle Goodrich, Dandelions: The Disappearance of Annabelle Fancher

“Severing our young and fragile friendship was a sad ordeal, but sadder still was the fact that this friend found it so difficult to respond to my immediate need, unlike a dreamed boy who always afforded me easy comfort. I couldn’t understand what was so hard about reaching out to hug someone. But judging by Gregory’s uncomfortable conduct I had to assume it was an honest trial.”
― Richelle Goodrich, Dandelions: The Disappearance of Annabelle Fancher

“I was the kid next door's imaginary friend.”
― Emo Philips

“I shake my head and rub the bridge of my nose. "There's a whole lot more at stake here than just my happiness, so I'll let the doctors do whatever tests they want and answer any questions they have. But after that we save the world. And then we move on, okay?”
― Kara Swanson, The Girl Who Could See

“And at other times when Kellyanne held out Pobby and Dingan were real I would just sit there saying, "Are not. Are not. Are not," until she got bored of saying, "Are. Are. Are," and went running out screaming with her hands over her ears.

And many times I've wanted to kill Pobby and Dingan, I don't mind saying it.”
― Ben Rice, Pobby and Dingan

“It's like I'm dreaming of the imaginary friend Katie and I had when we were little. She'd been so real to us as kids. We each remembered Anna, that's what we'd called her, just like we remembered bits of our parents. But now, in this dreamscape of Paradise Lost, our imaginary third twin has all grown up.”
― Beatrice Rose Roberts, Twin Loyalties: From The Chronicles Of Tar Ponds City

“I’m considering keeping the shutters open, even if people are spying on me at night from the apartment across the street. Especially if they are spying on me. It makes me feel less alone. I have a mental camaraderie with that imaginary person and their imaginary gaze. I find myself performing myself for them and exaggerating my facial expressions so they can see me more clearly, like actors project their voices on stage. I’m miming myself.”
― Jalina Mhyana

“my imaginary friend would be happy to hear my adventures but it’s too bad he’s left a long time ago - adulthood”
― Caitlin Kelly, The Words I Wish I Said

“In those days he seemed to be a nice old gentleman, and his existence always served practical purposes, such as when I was accused of misconduct, for then I could shift the blame to him by saying, "Old Tacet did it." Naturally, no one would believe me, this being a last-ditch effort to avoid the hairbrush. If my mother were alive today, she'd laugh at me for still fantasizing - yet it's the truth.

Even now, whenever necessary, I still summon forth the old geezer - in theater programs, for example, to credit him for costumes that I've designed, ones for which I prefer not getting the hook. Yes, he's another of my names: the unlikely but lovely and perfectly logical”
― Paul Taylor, Private Domain: An Autobiography

“I know have lived, so many times, that the only thing I have left to remember is my writing, cause every single moment in life it's already written.”
― Piroska Rodriguez

“Stanley forced a smile to his lips at the memory of the onesided romance; it was silly, after all, a stupid childhood crush. Who’d fall in love with a fictional character? That was the kind of thing you laughed about as an adult. Or at least Harriet had thought so. He couldn’t quite do it, though. Couldn’t quite see it as a joke. It had felt too real, too raw and wild and fierce, for him to
dismiss it even now. It was love, of a sort, stunted and unformed as it was. For a time, it had kept him sane.”
― Amelia Mangan, Release

“It needs to be emphasized, however, that the ability of fantasy to achieve a sense of reality is not an indication that the traumatic abuses
recalled by patients with multiple personality disorder are fabricated or made-up. What is important to recognize is that the fantasy elaborations that are connected with dissociated states in these patients are efforts at restitution and represent attempts at mastering traumatic experiences through the use of imaginative solutions. This paper is examining the use of fantasy as it participates in the formation of the clinical picture of multiple personality disorder and is not intending to cast doubt on its traumatic origin.”
― Walter C. Young

“Fiction is supposed to enhance reality, not enslave it.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Esperanza Impossible: 100 Sonnets of Ethics, Engineering & Existence

“Call out my name in the middle of the night,
when you are afraid, call out my name, yeah.
Call out my name in the middle of the night.
Yeah, call out my name.
You know I'm your imaginary friend.
You know I'm here tonight to give you strength.
When there's monsters on your ceiling,
I'll keep you safe and I will keep you dreaming.
You know I'm your imaginary friend.
You know I am, it's you and I until the end.”
― ITZY

“Unlike real people, the imaginary friend or love object never lets you down, never wants something different from what you want, never behaves in careless ways that hurt you.”
― Joseph Burgo
