“Dreams come from Zeus.”

“Dreams come from the past, not from the future. Dreams shouldn't control you--you should control them.”

“You are not the last dream of my soul.

You are the first dream, the only dream I ever was unable to stop myself from dreaming. You are the first dream of my soul, and from that dream I hope will come all other dreams, a lifetime’s worth.”

“This is where dreams—dreams, do you understand—come to life, come real. Not daydreams: dreams.”

“Dream beautiful dreams and then work to make those dreams come true.”

“"Stars in the sky / and dreams are few / the ones who come true"
(from Ridere di te, 1987)”

“The answer is dreams. Dreaming on and on. Entering the world of dreams and never coming out. Living in dreams for the rest of time.”

“We can redream this world and make the dream come real. Human beings are gods hidden from themselves.”

“I think fiction comes from everything you've ever done, and said, and dreamed, and imagined. It comes from everything you've read and haven't read…I think my work comes out of the culture of the world around me. I think that's where my language comes from.”

“We're overdue for a dream come true.
Long time, nothing new.
We're overdue for a dream come true.”
