So, I am reading The Art Thief by Noah Charney. I'm not too sure how I feel about it. I do know that the author is quite impressed with himself, but I digress.
One of this characters has the following thought: "Nothing can be thought into being..."
I find this to be an interesting thought for a fictional character to have. I mean, wasn't he thought into being? Isn't all art, in a way, thought into being?
For it to be shared with others, physical things like typing and painting need to happen... and I guess it depends on the definition of "into being" we are operating under...
But as Dumbledore says in The Deathly Hallows: Why would you ever think that just because something happens in your mind that it isn't real?
