“Anyone can escape into sleep, we are all geniuses when we dream, the butcher's the poet's equal there.”

“It's not the content of our dreams that gives our second heart its dark color; it's the thoughts that go through our heads in those wakeful moments when sleep won't come. And those are the things we never tell anyone at all.”

“That is not the dream. That is a perversion of the dream. We are the people of the civil rights movement. We are the ones that must stand for civil and equal rights. Equal rights. Justice. Equal justice.”

“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?”

“I still dream of Orgonon.
I wake up crying.
You're making rain,
And you're just in reach,
When you and sleep escape me.”

“Are you sure/That we are awake? It seems to me/That yet we sleep, we dream”

“Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep; To sleep, perchance to dream—For in that sleep of death what dreams may come, When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us pause, there's the respect, That makes calamity of so long life”

“We always know when we are awake that we cannot be dreaming even though when actually dreaming we feel all this may be real.”

“We dream in our waking moments, and walk in our sleep.”

“You're afraid of imagination and even more afraid of dreams. Afraid of the resposibility that begins in dreams. But you have to sleep and dreams are a part of sleep. When you're awake you can suppress imagination but you can't supress dreams.”
