Dreams and Imagination

Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.

Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.

Imagination is more important than knowledge.

I desired dragons with a profound desire. Of course, I in my timid body did not wish tohave them in the neighborhood, intrudinginto my relatively safe world, in which it was, for instance, possible to read stories in peace of mind, free from fear. But the world thatcontained even the imagination of Fáfnir was richer and more beautiful, at whatever cost of peril.

A horse is the projection of peoples' dreams about themselves - strong, powerful, beautiful - and it has the capability of giving us escape from our mundane existence.

If you cannot teach me to fly, teach me to sing.

Dreams do come true, if we only wish hard enough. You can have anything in life if you will sacrifice everything else for it.

There are those who will say that the liberation of humanity, the freedom of man and mind, is nothing but a dream. They are right. It is the American dream.

 

I’ve dreamt in my life dreams that have stayed with me ever after, and changed my ideas: they’ve gone through and through me, like wine through water, and altered the color of my mind.
