Let us therefore continue our triumphal march to the realization of the American dream. for all of us today, the battle is in our hands. The road ahead is not altogether a smooth one.

That is how the human dreams of Diatribe go to war with the battalions of divine words.

Martin Luther

You're going to forget this in a minute - you know, like you do when you've had a dream...

It is truly difficult to make a democracy. Democracy, like arty dream, is not made with spiritual words but with reflection and practice.

It is what I do that bespeaks my faithfulness or not to what I say.

Paulo Freire

And simultaneously, a very low opinion of me! She is one confused Monkey, and, I'm afraid, not too very bright.

Philip Roth

He is not simply looking into the mirror because he is transfixed by what he sees. Rather, the artist’s success depends as much as anything on his powers of detachment, on de-narcissizing himself… Freud… studied his own dreams not because he was a “narcissist,” but because he was a student of dreams. And whose were at once the least and most accessible of dreams, if not his own?

Philip Roth

Dreams? If only they had been! But I don't need dreams, Doctor, that's why I hardly have them—because I have this life instead. With me it all happens in broad daylight!
