“We are the music makers,
And we are the dreamers of dreams,”
Music and Moonlight (1874), Ode
Context: We are the music makers,
And we are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams; —
World-losers and world-forsakers,
On whom the pale moon gleams:
Yet we are the movers and shakers
Of the world for ever, it seems.
“Great dreamers' dreams are never fulfilled, they are always transcended.”
“Dreams come true all the time, just not for the dreamers”
“Revolution only needs good dreamers who remember their dreams.”
Camino Real (1953)
Context: You said, "They're harmless dreamers and they're loved by the people." — "What," I asked you, "is harmless about a dreamer, and what," I asked you, "is harmless about the love of the people? — Revolution only needs good dreamers who remember their dreams."
“Dreams have only one owner at a time. That's why dreamers are lonely.”
