We must never stop dreaming. Dreams provide nourishment for the soul, just as a meal does for the body. (Paulo Coelho)
Dreaming is very pleasant as long as you are not forced to put your dreams into practice. View quote
Paulo Coelho
Dreaming carries no risks. The dangerous thing is trying to transform your dreams into reality. View quote
Paulo Coelho
The whole question of pictures made to order is a darn peculiar form of merchandize. Buyers seem to like the tiresome MP blue, for one thing, and girls having a pleasant chat for another. They must look pleasant like Daybreak and Garden of Allah and not contemplative like Hilltop, Stars and Dreaming, which are not so popular .... There are countless artists whose shoes I'm not worthy to polish - whose prints would not pay the printer! ... I'm beginning to doubt my judgment! View quote
Maxfield Parrish
Vision gets the dreams started. Dreaming employs your God-given imagination to reinforce the vision. Both are part of something I believe is absolutely necessary to building the life of a champion, a winner, a person of high character who is consistently at the top of whatever game he or she is in. View quote
Emmitt Smith
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. View quote
Haruki Murakami
Dreaming men are haunted men. View quote
Stephen Vincent Benét
But sorrow return'd with the dawning of morn, And the voice in my dreaming ear melted away. View quote
Thomas Campbell
Survival starts by paying attention to what is close at hand and immediate. To look out with idle hope is tantamount to dreaming one's life away. View quote
Yann Martel
On the dust of our heroic ancestors we too sit ballot-boxing, saying to one another, It is well, it is well! By inheritance of their noble struggles, we have been permitted to sit slothful so long. By noble toil, not by shallow laughter and vain talk, they made this English Existence from a savage forest into an arable inhabitable field for us; and we, idly dreaming it would grow spontaneous crops forever,-find it now in too questionable a state. View quote
Thomas Carlyle
Americans have it right. Europeans are not in an evangelical - or a bellicose - mood. Indeed, sometimes I have to pinch myself to be sure I am not dreaming: that what many people in my own country now hold against Germany, which wreaked such horrors on the world for nearly a century - the new "German problem," as it were - is that Germans are repelled by war; that much of German public opinion is now virtually ... pacifist! (Susan Sontag)
Now I've been happy lately Thinking about the good things to come And I believe it could be Something good has begun. Oh, I've been smiling lately Dreaming about the world as one And I believe it could be Someday it's going to come. View quote
Cat Stevens
The compulsion to possess and hold on to things is not unique. Everyone who wants to follow the warrior's path has to rid himself of this fixation in order not to focus our dreaming body on the weak face of the second attention. View quote
Carlos Castaneda
All human beings are also dream beings. Dreaming ties all mankind together. View quote
Jack Kerouac
Not being tense but ready. Not thinking but not dreaming. Not being set but flexible. Liberation from the uneasy sense of confinement. It is being wholly and quietly alive, aware and alert, ready for whatever may come. View quote
Bruce Lee
Dreaming of a tomorrow, which tomorrow, will be as distant then as 'tis today. View quote
Lope de Vega
A dreamer he was, and ever would be. Yet dreaming need not injure us, if it do but take its turn with waking; and even dreams themselves may be turned to beauty, by favoured men to whom nature has given the powers of casting them into form. View quote
James Anthony Froude
In his house at R'lyeh, dead Cthulu waits dreaming. View quote
H. P. Lovecraft
For I have always been a seeker, a dreamer, and a ponderer on seeking and dreaming. View quote
H. P. Lovecraft
What, in substance, both the Esquimaux wizards and the Louisiana swamp-priests had chanted to their kindred idols was something very like this: the word-divisions being guessed at from traditional breaks in the phrase as chanted aloud: "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn." ... "In his house at R'lyeh dead Cthulhu waits dreaming." View quote
H. P. Lovecraft
At the age of 16 I was already dreaming of having a baby because I felt myself to be an adult, but my mum forbid it. Right now, I feel like a teenager and I want to have fun for one or two more years before starting a family. (Milla Jovovich)
Everything I sought in life I abandoned for the sake of the search. I'm like one who absentmindedly looks for he doesn't know what, having forgotten it in his dreaming as the search got under way. View quote
Fernando Pessoa
I've dreamed a lot. I'm tired now from dreaming but not tired of dreaming. No one tires of dreaming, because to dream is to forget, and forgetting does not weigh on us, it is a dreamless sleep throughout which we remain awake. In dreams I have achieved everything. View quote
Fernando Pessoa
We all have two lives: The true, the one we dreamed of in childhood And go on dreaming of as adults in a substratum of mist; the false, the one we love when we live with others, the practical, the useful, the one we end up by being put in a coffin. View quote
Fernando Pessoa
Ah, the freshness in the face of leaving a task undone! To be remiss is to be positively out in the country! What a refuge it is to be completely unreliable! I can breathe easier now that the appointments are behind me. I missed them all, through deliberate negligence, Having waited for the urge to go, which I knew wouldn't come. I'm free, and against organised, clothed society. I'm naked and plunge into the water of my imagination. It's too late to be at either of the two meetings where I should have been at the same time, Deliberately at the same time... No matter, I'll stay here dreaming verses and smiling in italics. This spectator aspect of life is so amusing! I can't even light the next cigarette... If it's an action, It can wait for me, along with the others, in the non-meeting called life. View quote
Fernando Pessoa
