“A dream is a wish your heart makes.”
“All I’ve ever done is dream. That, and only that, has been the meaning of my existence. The only thing I’ve ever really cared about is my inner life. My greatest griefs faded to nothing the moment I opened the window onto my inner self and lost myself in watching. I never tried to be anything other than a dreamer. I never paid any attention to people who told me to go out and live. I belonged always to whatever was far from me and to whatever I could never be. Anything that was not mine, however base, always seemed to be full of poetry. The only thing I ever loved was pure nothingness.”

“You know Sven? The man who takes care of the gym? he asked. He waited till he got a nod from Nicholson. Well, if Sven dreamed tonight that his dog died, he d have a very, very bad night s sleep, because he s very fond of that dog. But when he woke up in the morning, everything would be all right. He d know it was only a dream. Nicholson nodded. What s the point exactly? The point is if his dog really died, it would be exactly the same thing. Only he wouldn t know it. I mean he wouldn t wake up till he died himself.”

“Produce your own dream. If you want to save Peru, go save Peru. It’s quite possible to do anything, but not if you put it on the leaders and the parking meters. Don’t expect Carter or Reagan or John Lennon or Yoko Ono or Bob Dylan or Jesus Christ to come and do it for you. You have to do it yourself.”
“Jack s doctors have told him he is crazy… but, the truth is, it s the Voices who are crazy, not him.”
“The disempowered mind believes dreams come true; the empowered mind knows you bring your dreams to life.”
“Sweaters need to be imagined, dreamed over.”
“While I slept you stood in the colorful night market with pyramids of bright fruit piled high Where those who loved you, rushing back to their intimate stalls, held out pears that had been dreamed for you And would the dream pear not come gladly once it knew this was you wanting to take it in? The dream pear chose reality, wanting your mouth as I did - Honestly, it was happy to be bitten.”
“If I could make a dream real, I would not kill anything unless it could never be changed at heart.”
“It is not the dream of what you re feeling laziness, if not, the sleep of exhaustion.”
“Life is a relentless expulsion from where we come from and an ongoing deportation to alien realms. We are in exile and our greatest dream is to return to the lost land. It is the greatest dream because no matter how long our exile is going to last, the dream will remain. It is the greatest dream because when we finally care only for this dream, then our exile will be over.”
“Schizofrenia pana la ultima ei limita, refuzul total al oricarei realitati decat cea a visului, al oricarui adevar decat al viziunii.”
