“The permanent temptation of life is to confuse dreams with reality. The permanent defeat of life comes when dreams are surrendered to reality.”

“There comes a point when a dream becomes reality and reality becomes a dream.”

“Sleeping is a way of dying or at least of dying to reality, better still it is the death of reality, but reality dies in love as in dreams. The life of man is entirely occupied by the bloody osmosis of dreams and love.”

“Maybe what we take to be real is just a dream and the dream is the real reality of life. Who dreams while we sleep?”

“There is nothing enduring, permanent, either in me or out of me, nothing but everlasting change. I know of no existence, not even of my own. I know nothing and am nothing. Images — pictures — only are, pictures which wander by without anything existing past which they wander, without any corresponding reality which they might represent, without significance and without aim. I myself am one of these images, or rather a confused image of these images. All reality is transformed into a strange dream, without a world of which the dream might be, or a mind that might dream it. Contemplation is a dream; thought, the source of all existence and of all that I fancied reality, of my own existence, my own capacities, is a dream of that dream.”

“Temptation said that we all dream of committing crimes, but that only the unbalanced make that macabre idea a reality.”

“When we are dreaming alone it is only a dream. When we are dreaming with others, it is the beginning of reality.”

“Reality - Dreams = Animal Being
Reality + Dreams = A Heart-Ache (usually called Idealism)
Reality + Humor = Realism (also called Conservatism)
Dreams - Humor = Fanaticism
Dreams + Humor = Fantasy
Reality + Dreams + Humor = Wisdom”

“We are beginning to see the influence of dream upon reality and reality upon dream.”

“If you don't make your dreams a reality, reality will take away your dreams. ”
