Wow, this is a constant battle in my house, boiled down to two words. Hubby thinks I'm "immature" the way I like to imagine stories for people and I have to argue that I'm just "creative".
I'll go with imagination, because you can't create that. Knowledge can always be added. :)
Usually, what I know keeps me from making the most of my imagination (you know, that whole 'think outside the box' thing). I agree with others, it's hard to have one without the other.
It's tough. I say imagination, but I'm also the type of person that goes nuts over "not knowing" situations/things, etc. So...real tough call. But Imagination wins. Life would suck and be horribly boring without it.
I would choose imagination...the knowledge is no good if you can't imagine what to do with it...and of course, a writer with no imagination would starve!
Imagination!!! All the way, baby! Have a happy Fourth!

Imagination! My boyfriend Mr. Google can provide the knowledge. :)
ReplyDeleteHugs and good to see ya.
It has to be imagination.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Welcome back!

Knowledge fuels my imagination and I imagine all the things I could know.
ReplyDeleteImagination. Those who are imaginative live happier lives.
ReplyDeleteTricky. If you have knowledge but no imagination, you have no way of putting your knowledge to its best use.
ReplyDeleteIf you have imagination but no knowledge, it would be hard to put anything you imagine into use or to explain it to anyone else.
I think personally I'll go with imagination, although it's a close call. You can gain knowledge, though, so that's the only reason.
Wendy - It seems the easy answer, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteAngie - *gasp* Mr. Google loves you, too? ;)
Linda - Thank you, lady!
Melanie - Ooh, a sore spot for sure!
Rafael - Love that! And so true.
Turkey - I'd like to think so. ;)
scarlethue - Great thinking, and I definitely see your points. Thanks for sharing!
Imagination...that way I can just invent answers for the knowledge part! :)
ReplyDeleteImagination. Knowledge can be gained.
ReplyDeletePlease note that you are quoting a knowledgeable man. I want it all, baby. The more knowledge imagination has to work with, the better.
ReplyDeleteAs a writer?? of course--imagination!
ReplyDeleteImagination. I think it would lead to knowledge. Somewhat. LOL Plus, it's more fun.
ReplyDeleteStina - Excellent!
ReplyDeleteVery true, Kristen. And great new picture!
Janet - Duly noted. :)
Terri - I thought that would be the overwhelming answer. ;)
Jessica - It is for me, too!
Hello - welcome back :)
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine one without the other!
I would really not like to give up either. What a sad existence that would be.
ReplyDeleteI guess if I have imagination I can pretend I have knowledge too!
ReplyDeleteHi, Kat! They do go hand-in-hand. And thanks. :)
ReplyDeleteDebbit - True, true.
Diane - That's pretty sweet thinking. :) And welcome!

ReplyDeleteI don't think you can have one or the other. It has to be both.

ReplyDeleteHat Chick - Hiya! And an excellent point.
ReplyDeleteDeb - Surely Einstein knew that, didn't he?
Christacarol - So true!
Hi, Alan, welcome! You've got a great point, too.
