| In his younger days a man dreams of possessing the heart of the woman whom he loves; later, the feeling that he possesses the heart of a woman may be enough to make him fall in love with her. | | Marcel Proust | |
| In my dreams I hear again the crash of guns, the rattle of musketry, the strange, mournful mutter of the battlefield. | | Douglas MacArthur | |
| In the name of the best within you, do not sacrifice this world to those who are its worst. In the name of the values that keep you alive, do not let your vision of man be distorted by the ugly, the cowardly, the mindless in those who have never achieved his title. Do not lose your knowledge that man's proper estate is an upright posture, an intransigent mind and a step that travels unlimited roads. Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it's yours. | | Ayn Rand | |
| It is never too late to be what you might have been. | | George Eliot | |

| Obviously one must hold oneself responsible for the evil impulses of one's dreams. In what other way can one deal with them? Unless the content of the dream rightly understood is inspired by alien spirits, it is part of my own being. | | Sigmund Freud | |
| One night I walked home very late and fell asleep in somebody's satellite dish. My dreams were showing up on TV's all over the world. | | Stephen Wright | |

| Our life is composed greatly from dreams, from the unconscious, and they must be brought into connection with action. They must be woven together. | | Anais Nin | |
Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits and
Are melted into air, into thin air:
And, like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capp'd towers, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep. | | William Shakespeare | |

| Really great people make you feel that you, too, can become great. | | Mark Twain | |
| The best reason for having dreams is that in dreams no reasons are necessary. | | Ashleigh Brilliant | |
| The dream is the small hidden door in the deepest and most intimate sanctum of the soul, which opens into that primeval cosmic night that was soul long before there was a conscious ego and will be soul far beyond what a conscious ego could ever reach. | | Carl Gustav Jung | |
| The dreamer can know no truth, not even about his dream, except by awaking out of it | | George Santayana | |
| The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. | | Eleanor Roosevelt | |
