Dreams are hopeful because they exist as pure possibility. Unlike memories, which are fossils, long dead and buried deep.

I think it's because of the various ways one can interpret it.How ugly we must look to them, spilling light into every dark corner to push back the shadows, blinding ourselves to the true beauty of emptiness.

If life were fair, the smartest among us would be the wealthiest and most popular. If life were fair, teachers would make millions, and scientists would be rock stars. If life were fair, we'd all gather around the TV to hear about the latest discovery coming out of CERN rather than to find out which Kardashian is pregnant.

Being a teacher and a scientist that would make me a millionaire rock star! Woot!
Another quote that was great was from Diego to Henry after Henry states, "I am Space Boy and you are a criminal." p317 Diego replies:
We're not words, Henry, we're people. Words are how others define us, but we can define ourselves any way we choose.

I've always been so captivated by the ideas of dreams as a manifestation of subconscious emotion, and for something who is one hell of a dreamer, it's the one place where I feel like I can do absolutely anything.Gravy wrote:I have so many, but one of my very favorites is this one:Dreams are hopeful because they exist as pure possibility.

So much for objectivity. All hail subjectivity!memories are often amalgams of truth and fiction, sewn together in our heads by our subconscious to support our personal beliefs about the world.
