But sure there is need of other remedies than dreaming, a weak contention of art against nature.
Michel de Montaigne – Dream
I believe it to be true that dreams are the true interpreters of our inclinations; but there is art required to sort and understand them.
Michel de Montaigne – Dreams, Art
It is never to late to be what you might have been.
George Eliot – never too late
If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost, that is where they should be. Now put foundations under them.
Henry David Thoreau – Dream, Work
Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.
Henry David Thoreau – Dream, Life
I’ve continued to recognize the power individuals have to change virtually anything and everything in their lives in an instant. I’ve learned that the resources we need to turn our dreams into reality are within us, merely waiting for the day when we decide to wake up and claim our birthright.
Anthony Robbins – Dream, Change, Reality
In order to dream so far, is it enough to read? Isn’t it necessary to write? Write as in our schoolboy past, in those days when, as Bonnoure says, the letters wrote themselves one by one, either in their gibbosity or else in their pretentious elegance? In those days, spelling was a drama, our drama of culture at work in the interior of a word.
Gaston Bachelard – Reading & Dreaming
By listening to certain words as a child listens to the sea in a seashell, a word dreamer hears the murmur of a world of dreams.
Gaston Bachelard – World of Dreams
A word is a bud attempting to become a twig. How can one not dream while writing? It is the pen which dreams. The blank page gives the right to dream.
Gaston Bachelard – Words, Dream, Writing
Talking about dreams is like talking about movies, since the cinema uses the language of dreams; years can pass in a second and you can hop from one place to another. It’s a language made of image. And in the real cinema, every object and every light means something, as in a dream.
Federico Fellini – Dreams
Dream no small dreams for they have no power to move the hearts of men.
Goethe – Dream, Power
Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it!
Goethe – Boldness, Dream
You see things; you say, ‘Why?’ But I dream things that never were; and I say ‘Why not?’
George Bernard Shaw – Change, Dream
Reach high, for stars lie hidden in your soul. Dream deep, for every dream precedes the goal.
Ralph Vaull Starr – Dream
I believe that everyone is the keeper of a dream – and by tuning into one another’s secret hopes, we can become better friends, better partners, better parents, and better lovers.
