“I live not in dreams but in contemplation of a reality that is perhaps the future.”

“I believe in the future resolution of these two states, dream and reality, which are seemingly so contradictory, into a kind of absolute reality, a surreality, if one may so speak.”

“Dreams, dreams. I walk them; I live them. I delude myself with them. It's a wonder I can spot reality anymore.”

“Most people live in a half-dream all their lives and call it reality.”

“Ecstasy is from the contemplation of things vaster than the individual and imperfectly seen perhaps, by all those that still live.”

“I am living permanently in my dream, from which I make brief forays into reality.”

“Living in dreams of yesterday, we find ourselves still dreaming of impossible future conquest…”

“She [Melanie] is the only dream I ever had that lived and breathed and did not die in the face of reality.”

“All men dream. But I know dreams for dreams. This is reality.”

“Just as man cannot live without dreams, he cannot live without hope. If dreams reflect the past, hope summons the future.”
