Line 2: {{quote\|"It was agreed that my endeavours should be directed to persons and characters supernatural, or at least romantic; yet so as to translate our inward nature a human interest and a semblance of truth sufficient to procedure for these shadows of imagination willing suspension of disbelief for the moment, which constitutes poetic faith."\|'''William Taylor Coleridge''', ''Biographia Literaria''}} {{quote\|''"There's [[Willing Suspension of Disbelief\|Suspension Of Disbelief]] and then there's [[Viewers ~~Are~~are Morons\|insulting my fucking intelligence]]."''\|'''The Spoony One on the Wing Commmander movie'''}} {{quote\|''"Suspension Of Disbelief doesn't throw away all logic. It just allows me to believe that there are [[The Flash\|people that can run really fast]] or [[Martian Manhunter\|aliens that can shapeshift living among humans]]."''\|'''Linkara''', ''[[~~Atop the Fourth Wall (Web Video)\|~~Atop the Fourth Wall]]''}} {{quote\|''"At a certain point, it's just a deal between the director and the audience where he basically pauses the movie and says, "Look, if you want to see some more cool action scenes, just initial here that it's OK that [[Independence Day\|the alien computers run on MacOS for some reason]]." And you go, "OK," and he goes back to blowing things up for you."''\|'''[[Cracked ~~(Website)~~.com\|Cracked]]''', ''[http://www.cracked.com/article_19125_6-groups-who-dont-work-as-movie-bad-guys-anymore_p2.html "6 Groups Who Don't Work as Movie Bad Guys Anymore"]''}} {{quote\|''"Nor need their strange worlds, when we get there, be at all tied to scientific probabilities. It is the wonder, or beauty, or suggestiveness that matters. When I myself put canals on Mars, I believe I already knew that telescopes had dissipated that old optical illusion. The point was that they were part of the Martian myth as it existed in the common mind."''\|'''[[CSC. ~~Lewis~~S. ~~(Creator)~~Lewis\|CS Lewis]]''',''On Science Fiction''}} {{quote\|[[Ed Wood (~~Creator~~creator)\|Ed Wood]]: What do you know?

There's a magic moment where you can make them believe ''anything'' because they already want to. They're there and ready and you just have to take them the ''rest of the way.''\|'''Ben Cato''', ''[[The Dreamer]]''}} {{quote\|"I'm not having anyone staring in disbelief at ''my'' [[Unusual Euphemism\|willing suspension]]!\|'''[[~~Black Adder~~Blackadder\|Captain Blackadder]]'''}} {{quote\|Probable impossibilities are to be preferred to improbable possibilities.\|Aristotle}} {{reflist}} [[Category:Willing Suspension Ofof Disbelief]] [[Category:Quotes]]
