“We want to follow a dream, yes it's true, but it's one thing to follow a dream and another to follow an obsession…A dream is more pure than obsession. A dream is about pride.”

“You have the right to follow your dreams. I'm giving you permission to follow your dreams.”
The Mysterious Martin de Maat (2001)
“The Dream obsessed him … but what was it?”
Source: Outlaw Journalist (2008), Chapter 8, American Dream, p. 118
Context: The Dream obsessed him... but what was it? Was it Horatio Alger, rags to riches, the idea that you could start with nothing and end up rolling naked in stacks of hundreds? Or was it a dream of freedom? Personal freedom... or the concept of freedom that the founders brought into the whole world?

Where Is Your Heart?

A Conversation With The Legendary J.M. DeMatteis! (2004)
Context: Follow your heart, follow your dreams. If writing is your passion, put everything you have into it. Let that passion, that joy, lead you. In the end it might not lead you to exactly the place you thought you were heading... but it will absolutely lead you someplace wonderful. And don’t let the Nay-Sayers, the Practical People, stop you or wear you down. Follow your dreams... and you can’t go wrong.
