"Reason, honor and the limitless bounds of our own imaginations compels us now to do what others can only admire! Unhindered by the mortal flesh, the mind can visit realms which the body cannot. In that we are like Gods. That is our own "brave destiny," the destiny of art of the imagination! Let us then create a show of this art, the like of which has never been seen before!" — Terrance Lindall on behalf of the Society for Art of the Imagination, June 2002
