dream?

I'm wishing for.
The straying dreams of men may bring them ghosts of joy: but as they drowse, the waking
embers burn them; or they walk with fixed eyes, as blind men walk. But the ancient wisdom
speaks for our own time:
You have a dreamer's look; you must not dream. It is only sick people who dream.
I spent last night dreaming of your eyes, but your hair kept getting in the way.
All the things one has forgotten scream for help in dreams.
Dreams are the touchstones of our character.
Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.
Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things that escape those who dream only at
night.
A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he
sees the dawn before the rest of the world.

love, but what really broke a heart was taking away its dream - whatever that dream might be.

Dreams are what you fear, what you want, and what you fear you want.
If I'm dreaming, never let me wake. If I'm awake, never let me sleep.
Imagination is the eye of the soul.

One of the characteristics of the dream is that nothing suprises us in it. With no regret,
we agree to live in it with strangers, completely cut off from our habits and friends.

was in the world.
More things are dreamt of in my imagination and philosophy, than are on your heaven and
earth.

It takes a lot of courage to show your dreams to someone.
If one dream should fall and break into a thousand pieces, never be afraid to pick one of
those pieces up and begin again.
The human spirit cannot be paralyzed. If you are breathing, you can dream.
No one should negotiate their dreams. Dreams must be free to flee and fly high. No
government, no legislature, has a right to limit your dreams. You should never agree to
surrender your dreams.
Never part with your illusions. Without dreams, you may continue to exist, but you have
ceased to live.
Any dream worth having is a dream worth fighting for.
