I learned to dream through reading, learned to create dreams through writing, and learned to develop dreamers through teaching. I shall always be a dreamer. (Sharon M. Draper)
I learnt to travel the world around And run on the ground in the morning. And that's the story of a wandering soul, A story of a dreamer. View quote
Yoko Ono
I am a dreamer and when I wake, You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take. And as you move on, remember me. Remember us and all we used to be. View quote
James Blunt
Of the pleasures and pains of opium much has been written. The ecstasies and horrors of De Quincey and the paradis artificiels of Baudelaire are preserved and interpreted with an art which makes them immortal, and the world knows well the beauty, the terror and the mystery of those obscure realms into which the inspired dreamer is transported. View quote
H. P. Lovecraft
The dreamer whose dreams are non-utilitarian has no place in this world. In this world the poet is anathema, the thinker a fool, the artist an escapist, the man of vision a criminal. View quote
Henry Miller
In the world of the dreamer there was solitude: all the exaltations and joys came in the moment of preparation for living. They took place in solitude. But with action came anxiety, and the sense of insuperable effort made to match the dream, and with it came weariness, discouragement, and the flight into solitude again. And then in solitude, in the opium den of remembrance, the possibility of pleasure again. View quote
Anaïs Nin

Witch, scholar, poet, dreamer, and the rest... View quote
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
The thought of becoming a painter never as much as occurred to me. I would have laughed out loud if someone had suggested that I choose painting as a career. To be a painter is not a business, no more than to be an artist, lover, racer, dreamer, or prizefighter. It is a gift of Nature, a gift.. View quote
Maurice de Vlaminck
The greatest man of action is he who is the greatest, and a life-long, dreamer. View quote
Louis Sullivan
I should say: the house shelters day-dreaming, the house protects the dreamer, the house allows one to dream in peace. (Gaston Bachelard)
But in the dream the forms are quirked by the peculiar troubles of the dreamer, whereas in myth the problem and solutions shown are directly valid for all mankind. View quote
Joseph Campbell
Dream is personalized myth, myth is depersonalized dream; both myth and dream are symbolic in the same general way of the dynamics of the psyche. But in the dream the forms are quirked by the peculiar troubles of the dreamer, whereas in myth the problem and solutions shown are directly valid for all mankind. View quote
Joseph Campbell
The one person who has more illusions than the dreamer is the man of action. View quote
Oscar Wilde
The critical ingredient is getting off your butt and doing something. It's as simple as that. A lot of people have ideas, but there are few who decide to do something about them now. Not tomorrow. Not next week. But today. The true entrepreneur is a doer, not a dreamer. View quote
Nolan Bushnell
In the mind of whatever perverted dreamer who might loose the lightning, New York must hold a steady, irresistible charm. View quote
E. B. White
I am the dreamer and the doer I the hearer and the knower I the giver and the taker I the sword and the wound of sword. View quote
Ray Bradbury
A real dreamer must have a mutual trust with time. View quote
Yiyun Li
Still speaking of dreams, Seth says: "Energy projected into any kind of construction, psychic or physical, cannot be recalled, but must follow the laws of the particular form into which it has been for the moment molded. Therefore, when the dreamer contracts his multi-realistic objects backward, ending for himself the dream he has constructed, he ends it for himself only. The reality of the dream continues."

Robert Butts
I tend to be a bit of a dreamer. View quote
Richard Gere
Action preserves a sense of self-identity that reflection dispels. When we are at work in the world we have a seeming solidity. Action gives us consolation for our inexistence. It is not the idle dreamer who escapes from reality. It is practical men and women, who turn to a life of action as a refuge from insignificance. (John N. Gray)
From a young age, I was instinctively drawn to stories of escape, adventure and the high seas. It wasn't just that I was living in a society where I felt trapped, it was also because I was a reader and a dreamer. In retrospect, no matter where I grew up I probably would have dreamt of escape. But the fact that we were living behind the iron curtain fuelled that escapism. View quote
Kapka Kassabova
To have known the man was even as great a treat as to read his books. Lewis Carroll was as unlike any other man as his books were unlike any other author's books. It was a relief to meet the pure simple, innocent dreamer of children, after the selfish commercial mind of most authors. View quote
Harry Furniss
You are a dreamer, and that is your misfortune. View quote
Hans Christian Andersen
Two gates there are for our evanescent dreams, one is made of ivory, the other made of horn. Those that pass through the ivory cleanly carved are will-o'-the-wisps, their message bears no fruit. The dreams that pass through the gates of polished horn are fraught with truth, for the dreamer who can see them. View quote
