On the unreliability of imagination...

“Our capacity or incapacity of conceiving a thing has very little to do with the possibility of the thing itself; but is in truth very much an affair of accident, and depends on the past history and habits of our own minds.”

Mill, J. S. 1874, A System of Logic, New York, NY: Harper & Brothers
