Dreams Quotes

A dream itself is but a shadow. ~ Hamlet, Prince of Denmark by William Shakespeare Debt is the prolific mother of folly and of crime; it taints the course of life in all its dreams. ~ Henrietta Temple by Benjamin Disraeli They who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night. ~ Eleonora by Edgar Allan Poe There is no more thrilling sensation I know of than sailing. It comes as near to flying as man has got to yet - except in dreams. ~ Three Men in a Boat by Jerome K. Jerome "I don't often have the luck to have a dream like this. It is new to me for a nightmare to lead to a lobster. It is commonly the other way." ~ The Man Who Was Thursday by G. K. Chesterton It was always the becoming he dreamed of, never the being. ~ This Side of Paradise by F. Scott Fitzgerald At a single strain of music, the scent of a flower, or even one glimpse of a path of moonlight lying fair upon a Summer sea, the barriers crumble and fall. Through the long corridors the ghosts of the past walk unforbidden, hindered only by broken promises, dead hopes, and dream-dust. ~ Old Rose and Silver by Myrtle Reed "We are such stuff
As dreams are made on, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep." ~ The Tempest by William Shakespeare "The years that are gone seem like dreams--if one might go on sleeping and dreaming--but to wake up and find--oh! well! perhaps it is better to wake up after all, even to suffer, rather than to remain a dupe to illusions all one's life." ~ The Awakening by Kate Chopin There is a drowsy state, between sleeping and waking, when you dream more in five minutes with your eyes half open, and yourself half conscious of everything that is passing around you, than you would in five nights with your eyes fast closed, and your senses wrapt in perfect unconsciousness. At such time, a mortal knows just enough of what his mind is doing, to form some glimmering conception of its mighty powers, its bounding from earth and spurning time and space, when freed from the restraint of its corporeal associate. ~ Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens
