Dreams Quotes and Sayings
If some books are deemed most baneful and their sale forbid, how, then, with deadlier facts, not dreams of doting men' Those whom books will hurt will not be proof against events. Events, not books should be forbid. ~ Herman Melville. I must down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,/ To the gull’s way and the whale’s way where the wind’s like a whetted knife;/ And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,/ And a quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over. ~ John Masefield. Fairy elves, / Whose midnight revels, by a forest side / Or fountain, some belated peasant sees, / Or dreams he sees, while overhead the moon / Sits arbitress. ~ John Milton. But we, how shall we turn to little things/ And listen to the birds and winds and streams/ Made holy by their dreams,/ Nor feel the heart-break in the heart of things. ~ W.W. Gibson. Life is perhaps most wisely regarded as a bad dream between two awakenings, and every day is a life in miniature. ~ Eugene O’Neill. The soul of man is a far country, which cannot be approached or explored. Most of the dead were poor and illiterate. But every single one of them had dreamed dreams, seen visions and had amazing experiences, even the babes in arms (perhaps especially the babes in arms). ~ D.M. Thomas. |
