“In dreams you are so 'dumb' that you believe there is a commerce between the living and the dead. You are so 'irrational' as to imagine that you sometimes speak to parents who are dead. You are so 'unrealistic' that it seems to you that you visit old houses, long ago torn down, or that you travel in exotic foreign cities that you have actually never visited. In dreams you are so 'insane' you do not feel yourself locked in a closet of time and space, but feel instead as if all infinity but waited your beckoning.”

“Never felt so alive as you did after you came out of a battle in one piece. And if you were dead? You wouldn’t feel that…”

“You seem to have dreamt on the white stone, in the midst of the people of dreams, since you dreamt so long a dream in the course of so short a night.”

“So long as you believe in some truth you do not believe in yourself. You are a servant. A man of faith.”

“So how many women have you visited in their dreams? (Geary)
Is this one of those questions that if I don’t answer it correctly, you get angry at me? (Arik)”

“They used to pour millet on graves or poppy seeds
To feed the dead who would come disguised as birds.
I put this book here for you, who once lived
So that you should visit us no more.”

“Have you ever had a dream so real
That you felt the life you live was fake”

“You have wakened not out of sleep, but into a prior dream, and that dream lies within another, and so on, to infinity, which is the number of grains of sand. The path that you are to take is endless, and you will die before you have truly awakened.”

“It never seemed fair that just when you're old enough to do anything you want, you can't. You have to start working, so there's no time. And if there is time, you're not working, so there's no money.”

“It's you, so I feel that a person who will understand you, a person who will find you is waiting out there. So just keep on trying your best.”
