“Real things in the darkness seem no realer than dreams.”

“Reservations, exclusive arrangements / Dinner with the patrons, the scenery is amazing / It's so outrageous, they whisper when they say it / When it's really real it's even realer than "The Matrix"”

“Love to his soul gave eyes; he knew things are not as they seem. The dream is his real life; the world around him is the dream.”

“A dark unfathom'd tide
Of interminable pride —
A mystery, and a dream,
Should my early life seem.”

“In the real world
as in dreams
nothing is quite
what it seems.
-The Book of Counted Sorrows”

“It seems to leave the darkness rather blacker than before.”

“People with dark souls have nothing but dark dreams. People with really dark souls do nothing but dream.”

“A dream does not die on its own. A dream is vanquished by the choices ordinary people make about real things in their own lives…”

“Things are not always as bad as they seem. Sometimes, the darkness only makes it easier to see the light.”

“The Light failed; but the Darkness that followed was more than loss of light. In that hour was made a Darkness that seemed not lack but a thing with being of its own: for it was indeed made by malice out of Light, and it had power to pierce the eye, and to enter heart and mind, and strangle the very will.”
