Quotations
Dream
Your hopes, dreams and aspirations are legitimate. They are trying to take you airborne, above the clouds, above the storms, if you only let them.
-William James
A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees dawn before the rest of the world.
-Oscar Wilde
Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night.
-Edgar Allan Poe
Some men see things as they are and ask why. Others dream of things that never were and ask why not.
-George Bernard Shaw
When a human awakens to a great dream and throws the full force of his soul over it, all the universe conspires in your favor.

"See You at the Top"
Ester asked why people are sad.
“That’s simple,” says the old man. “They are the prisoners of their personal history. Everyone believes that the main aim in life is to follow a plan. They never ask if that plan is theirs or if it was created by another person. They accumulate experiences, memories, things, other people's ideas, and it is more than they can possibly cope with. And that is why they forget their dreams.”
-Paulo Coelho
"The Zahir"
Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.
-Henry David Thoreau
Dreams are the touchstones of our character.
-Henry David Thoreau
