to build new self-consistent worlds

You will probably be tempted, by your habit of mind, to ask - what does all this prove? It does not, in the scientific sense of the word, prove anything. The function of imaginative speech is not to prove, but to create - to discover new similarities, and to arrange them to form new unities, to build new self-consistent worlds out of the universe of undifferentiated mind stuff.

- Dorothy L. Sayers, Creative Mind
