To the degree we're not living our dreams, our comfort zone has more control of us than we have over ourselves.

Peter McWilliams

Dream small dreams. If you make them too big, you get overwhelmed and you don't do anything. If you make small goals and accomplish them, it gives you the confidence to go on to higher goals.

John H. Johnson

Yet it is in our idleness, in our dreams, that the submerged truth sometimes comes to the top.

Charlotte Bronte

I can never decide whether my dreams are the result of my thoughts, or my thoughts the result of my dreams.

David Herbert Lawrence

A test of what is real is that it is hard and rough. Joys are found in it, not pleasure. What is pleasant belongs to dreams.

Simone Weil

Though we may have desires or bold goals, for whatever reason, most of us don't think we can achieve something beyond what we're qualified to achieve. Why, I ask, do we let reality interfere with our dreams?

Simon Sinek

Dreams are not without meaning wherever thay may come from-from fantasy, from the elements, or from other inspiration.

Paracelsus

I just write what I wanted to write. I write what amuses me. It's totally for myself. I never in my wildest dreams expected this popularity.

Freedom and democracy are dreams you never give up.

Aung San Suu Kyi

My fear is that I go up to the girl of my dreams and say 'I'm sorry, but I've got to say hello to you,' and she slides the stool back and gets up and walks away, saying, 'Not for me, Bub. I don't want anything to do with you.'

John Mayer

People are never more insecure than when they become obsessed with their fears at the expense of their dreams.

I did commit to myself that I would not jump back into being the workaholic that I can be before I gave myself an honest opportunity to create the marriage of my dreams and to create the beginning of the family of my dreams, and that took a hot second.

Alanis Morissette

We do not really feel grateful toward those who make our dreams come true they ruin our dreams.

In dreams the truth is learned that all good works are done in the absence of a caress.

It is one of the blessings of this world that few people see visions and dream dreams.

Rude contact with facts chased my visions and dreams quickly away, and in their stead I beheld the horrors, the corruption, the evils and hypocrisy of society, and as I stood among them, a young wife, a great wail of agony went out from my soul.

Victoria Woodhull

Stay focused, go after your dreams and keep moving toward your goals.

LL Cool J

To this day, some of my closest friends say, 'Gaga, you know, everything's great. You're a singer your dreams have come true.' But, still, when certain things are said to you over and over again as you're growing up, it stays with you and you wonder if they're true.

Lady Gaga

Dreams don't have deadlines. I'm thinking of doing bigger and better things and having more fun with it.

LL Cool J

To every people the land is given on condition. Perceived or not, there is a Covenant, beyond the constitution, beyond sovereign guarantee, beyond the nation's sweetest dreams of itself.

Leonard Cohen

There's a joy and a pain about directing where the dreams you have are becoming concrete but the attention to detail, the need for time is such that it's overwhelming at times, and the stream of responsibility.

William Shatner

Hope lies in dreams, in imagination, and in the courage of those who dare to make dreams into reality.

I know how men in exile feed on dreams.

Emil Zatopek

I have had dreams and I have had nightmares, but I have conquered my nightmares because of my dreams.

Herb Brooks

But what I was going to say was, I just figured I'm going to go boldly in the direction of my dreams, say it as Thoreau would say, and just see where it takes me.

Demetri Martin

At first, dreams seem impossible, then improbable, and eventually inevitable.

Christopher Reeve

What is the conservative movement? It's pretty straightforward. We believe that the way prosperity is created is when people have the freedom and the opportunity to pursue their dreams.

Marco Rubio

The follow your dreams thing is really important because so many people are railroaded into taking other paths by their family, their friends, people who should be supportive going, 'What are you talking about?' Even just seemingly regular career paths, but if it's not what people expect for you they kind of react funny.

Joan Jett

I think when you're in a relationship where you really care for the other person, when they achieve their dreams it's better than when you do yourself.

For even in dreams a good deed is not lost.

Pedro Calderon de la Barca

Whatever dreams I have wished have come true.

Annette Funicello

No one may speak for the dead, no one may interpret their mutilated dreams and visions.

Elie Wiesel

I'd definitely be the kind of parent who enabled my child's dreams. I'd just watch and nurture and guide them. I have the blueprints of what not to do... I think I'd be a good parent, actually.

Drew Barrymore

Winners, I am convinced, imagine their dreams first. They want it with all their heart and expect it to come true. There is, I believe, no other way to live.

Joe Montana

The real hero is always a hero by mistake he dreams of being an honest coward like everybody else.

I am so excited to let fans in on how important my relationship with my family is to me. I hope to motivate mothers and daughters to build lifetimes of memories together and inspire kids around the world to live their dreams.

Angie Stone

A successful life is one that is lived through understanding and pursuing one's own path, not chasing after the dreams of others.

Chin-Ning Chu

In our increasingly secular society, with so many disparate gods and different faiths, superhero films present a unique canvas upon which our shared hopes, dreams and apocalyptic nightmares can be projected and played out.

Tom Hiddleston

There are a lot of things that are personally uncomfortable to show, especially me without makeup and completely bloated or crying. But I've realized that it's time for me to show my audience that you don't have to be perfect to achieve your dreams.

She still talks to me now, only now she talks to me in my dreams. And I can't wait to go to sleep tonight because we have a lot to talk about. I love you.

I think there's a time as a writer when you want to see the best things in life, and you go out wherever you go with your dreams as a writer or a composer.

We're special because dreams that are impossible anywhere else, come true here. That's not just my story. That's your story. That's our story.

Marco Rubio

The curse of the romantic is a greed for dreams, an intensity of expectation that, in the end, diminishes the reality.

Marya Mannes

The dreams which reveal the supernatural are promises and messages that God sends us directly: they are nothing but His angels, His ministering spirits , who usually appear to us when we are in a great predicament.

Paracelsus

Not all lucid dreams are useful but they all have a sense of wonder about them. If you must sleep through a third of your life, why should you sleep through your dreams, too?

Stephen LaBerge

There's always going to be dreams and goals I have, but I never really tell people what they are.

Tyra Banks

Intellectual despair results in neither weakness nor dreams, but in violence. It is only a matter of knowing how to give vent to one's rage whether one only wants to wander like madmen around prisons, or whether one wants to overturn them.

Georges Bataille

Every comedian dreams of hosting 'The Tonight Show' and, for seven months, I got to. I did it my way, with people I love, and I do not regret a second.

Max Beerbohm

Our dreams drench us in senses, and senses steps us again in dreams.

My imagination completely controls me, and forever feeds the fire that burns with dark red light in my heart by bringing me the best dreams. I've always had a wild imagination, a big heart and a tortured soul so I feel that dark fantasy, love and horror are in my blood.

Kim Elizabeth

Like dreams, statistics are a form of wish fulfillment.

Jean Baudrillard

All art is exorcism. I paint dreams and visions too the dreams and visions of my time. Painting is the effort to produce order order in yourself. There is much chaos in me, much chaos in our time.

Otto Dix

I have been interested in dreams, really since I was a kid. I have always been fascinated by the idea that your mind, when you are asleep, can create a world in a dream and you are perceiving it as though it really existed.

Christopher Nolan

Never in my wildest dreams did I entertain the idea that I would become a fashion designer.

Giorgio Armani

I might be writing what people expect me to write, writing from that place where I might be ruled by economic considerations. To overcome that, I started working with my dreams, because I'm not so censored when I use dream material.

Kathy Acker

I envy people with dreams and passions, but I don't think that way. I still don't have a 'bliss' to follow. For people like me - I suspect that's most people - holding out for a 'dream' or a 'passion' is paralyzing. I just like having work I enjoy that feels meaningful. That's hard enough... but it's enough.

Jane Pauley

Saddle your dreams before you ride em.

Mary Webb

Genius is an African who dreams up snow.

Dreams get you into the future and add excitement to the present.

LL Cool J

Through hard work, perseverance and a faith in God, you can live your dreams.

Benjamin Carson

If you're the type of person who has to fulfill your dreams, you've gotta be resourceful to make sure you can do it. I came out to California when I was 21, thinking my New York credentials would take me all the way. I came back home a year later all dejected and a failure.

Vin Diesel

I've said it before, but it's absolutely true: My mother gave me my drive, but my father gave me my dreams. Thanks to him, I could see a future.

Wallace Stevens

Our politics are our deepest form of expression: they mirror our past experiences and reflect our dreams and aspirations for the future.

Paul Wellstone

Our dreams are firsthand creations, rather than residues of waking life. We have the capacity for infinite creativity at least while dreaming, we partake of the power of the Spirit, the infinite Godhead that creates the cosmos.

Jackie Gleason

Dreams do come true, even for someone who couldn't speak English and never had a music lesson or much of an education.

Lawrence Welk

It is exactly because we are a city that embraces freedom, that welcomes everyone and encourages their dreams, that New York remains on the front lines in the war on terror.

Michael Bloomberg

Ironically, it is exactly because we are a city that embraces freedom, that welcomes everyone and encourages their dreams, that New York remains on the front lines in the war on terror.

Michael Bloomberg

Believe it or not, lots of people change their majors and abandon their dreams just to avoid a couple of math classes in college.

Danica McKellar

Of all our dreams today there is none more important - or so hard to realise - than that of peace in the world. May we never lose our faith in it or our resolve to do everything that can be done to convert it one day into reality.

Lester B. Pearson

It has been my observation that parents kill more dreams than anybody.

Spike Lee

Sigmund Freud said we act out our own dreams, but if you are only an actor you are not acting out your own dream. You are simply participating in someone else's dream.

John Malkovich

I have those dreams that you can't put into words.

Harry Connick, Jr.

I worked on my voice for Sweet Dreams, but only to match my speaking voice to Patsy's actual singing voice. That was my way into that character.

Jessica Lange

I'm very comfortable with the nature of life and death, and that we come to an end. What's most difficult to imagine is that those dreams and early yearnings and desires of childhood and adolescence will also disappear. But who knows? Maybe you become part of the eternal whatever.

Hugh Hefner

A dream is a scripture, and many scriptures are nothing but dreams.

Umberto Eco

Dreams are the seeds of change. Nothing ever grows without a seed, and nothing ever changes without a dream.

Debby Boone

My dreams have become puny with the reality my life has become.

Imelda Marcos

My dreams were always small and puny. All I ever needed was a little house with a little picket fence by the sea. Little did I know that I would live in Malacanang Palace for 20 years and visit all the major palaces of mankind. And then also meet ordinary citizens and the leaders of superpowers.

Imelda Marcos

I've had dreams about tricks.

Shaun White

Worse than not realizing the dreams of your youth, would be to have been young and never dreamed at all.

Jean Genet

My life has been a continuous fulfillment of dreams. It appears that everything I saw and did has a new, and perhaps, more significant meaning, every time I see it. The earth is good. It is a privilege to live thereon.

Liberty Hyde Bailey

Literature for me isn't a workaday job, but something which involves desires, dreams and fantasy.

Antonio Tabucchi

I love watching people's dreams come true.

Jessica Simpson

And our dreams are who we are.

Barbara Sher

You can't break my spirit, it's my dreams you take.

Bill McCartney

I don't like dreams or reality. I like when dreams become reality because that is my life.

Jean Paul Gaultier

My office is at Yankee stadium. Yes, dreams do come true.

Derek Jeter

I believe history will come to view 9/11 as an event on par with November 22, 1963, the date on which John F. Kennedy was murdered, cutting short a presidency that was growing ever more promising. Dreams died that day in Dallas it is easy to imagine the 1960s turning out rather differently had President Kennedy lived.

Jon Meacham

You control your future, your destiny. What you think about comes about. By recording your dreams and goals on paper, you set in motion the process of becoming the person you most want to be. Put your future in good hands - your own.

Mark Victor Hansen

Only in dreams, in poetry, in play do we sometimes arrive at what we were before we were this thing that, who knows, we are.

From time immemorial artistic insights have been revealed to artists in their sleep and in dreams, so that at all times they ardently desired them.

Paracelsus

Field of Dreams is probably our generation's It's A Wonderful Life.

Kevin Costner

I'm a big fan of dreams. Unfortunately, dreams are our first casualty in life - people seem to give them up, quicker than anything, for a 'reality.'

Kevin Costner

Instead of plotting the demise of the traditional family, as some politicians and religious leaders would have you believe, gay people mow their lawns and watch 'American Idol' and video their children's concerts and have the same hopes and dreams that their straight counterparts do.

Jodi Picoult

Seems like God don't see fit to give the black man nothing but dreams - but He did give us children to make them dreams seem worthwhile.

Lorraine Hansberry

Like all young reporters - brilliant or hopelessly incompetent - I dreamed of the glamorous life of the foreign correspondent: prowling Vienna in a Burberry trench coat, speaking a dozen languages to dangerous women, narrowly escaping Sardinian bandits - the usual stuff that newspaper dreams are made of.

Russell Baker

People's dreams are made out of what they do all day. The same way a dog that runs after rabbits will dream of rabbits. It's what you do that makes your soul, not the other way around.

Barbara Kingsolver

As a young man you don't notice at all that you were, after all, badly affected. For years afterwards, at least ten years, I kept getting these dreams, in which I had to crawl through ruined houses, along passages I could hardly get through.

Roberto Cavalli

Within our dreams and aspirations we find our opportunities.

Sugar Ray Leonard

Dream the impossible because dreams do come true.

Elijah Wood

The American Dream has run out of gas. The car has stopped. It no longer supplies the world with its images, its dreams, its fantasies. No more. It's over. It supplies the world with its nightmares now: the Kennedy assassination, Watergate, Vietnam.

J. G. Ballard

We've removed the ceiling above our dreams. There are no more impossible dreams.

Jesse Jackson

Women are not in love with me but with the picture of me on the screen. I am merely the canvas on which women paint their dreams.

Rudolph Valentino

Dreams become reality when we put our minds to it.

Queen Latifah

The readers are the ones who let us live our dreams. I try to write books which are really compelling - that you'd take on vacation and rather than going out, you'd read in your hotel room because you had to find out what happened. Hopefully that's what readers are responding to.

Harlan Coben

Men don't come up to you to just talk. We come up to you with a plan. We're looking across the room at you, and we don't care about your hopes and dreams. We don't care about what your future holds. We saw something we wanted.

Steve Harvey

It's not like I don't have my own wants and dreams anymore - it's just that the kids come first. It's primal.

Angie Harmon

One day it just hit me. This is it. You are not in love. So either stay in it because you have a child or be brave and find the man of your dreams and marry him for real.

Brandy Norwood

Dreams are where we visit the many lands and landscapes of human possibility and discover the one where we feel at home. The great religious leaders were all dreamers.

Jonathan Sacks

Dreaming in public is an important part of our job description, as science writers, but there are bad dreams as well as good dreams. We're dreamers, you see, but we're also realists, of a sort.

William Gibson

As you look back at your life, there are just a million different things that have happened, just in the right way, to allow you to make your dreams come true. And you know, someone has all that under control.

In a couple, sometimes, one or both people have to give up their personal life, dreams and ambitions for the good of the family.

William Graham Sumner

Take what you can from your dreams, make them as real as anything.

Dave Matthews

God, that dumping ground of our dreams.

Jean Rostand

I am consumed with the fear of failing. Reaching deep down and finding confidence has made all my dreams come true.

Arsenio Hall

What better model of a synthesis than a nocturnal dream? Dreams simplify, don't they?

Manuel Puig

After having done this whole slew of press for 'Big Love,' now I'll have anxiety dreams for like a week and a half about all the stupid things I said. I can't even imagine being in front of the cameras all the time. I had a weird dream the other night that I was on 'Jersey Shore.'

Chloe Sevigny

Even having to do the amount of press that I have to do is dreadful and gives me so much anxiety. After having done this whole slew of press for 'Big Love,' now I'll have anxiety dreams for like a week and a half about all the stupid things I said.

Chloe Sevigny

Barack Obama knows that to create an economy built to last, we need to focus on middle-class families. Families who stay up on Sunday nights pacing the floor, like my dad did, while their children, tucked in bed, dream big dreams. Families who aren't sure what Monday morning will bring, but who believe our nation's best days are still ahead.

Charles Schumer

When we are motivated by goals that have deep meaning, by dreams that need completion, by pure love that needs expressing, then we truly live.

Greg Anderson

The permanent temptation of life is to confuse dreams with reality. The permanent defeat of life comes when dreams are surrendered to reality.

James A. Michener

Everyone wants to look their best, everyone has dreams of wanting to look like something else. But we are who we are.

Samantha Morton

I say to my colleagues never confine your best work, your hopes, your dreams, the aspiration of the American people to what will be signed by George W. Bush because that is too limiting a factor.

Nancy Pelosi

Prime Minister Sharon, Prime Minister Abbas, I urge you today to end the designs of those who seek destruction, annihilation and occupation, and I urge you to have the will and the courage to begin to realize our dreams of peace, prosperity and coexistence.

King Abdullah II

I'm not certain, but I have a little gypsy blood in me. And my mother always told me that her grandma could give someone the evil eye, and I'd better not cross her because she had some of that blood in her. Mother always believed that she could predict the future, and she had dreams that came true.

Sam Raimi

The atmosphere is much too near for dreams. It forces us to action. It is close to us. We are in it and of it. It rouses us both to study and to do. We must know its moods and also its motive forces.

Cleveland Abbe

You know, one of my biggest dreams in life is to play a Disney princess.

Ginnifer Goodwin

When I look back over my life it's almost as if there was a plan laid out for me - from the little girl who was so passionate about animals who longed to go to Africa and whose family couldn't afford to put her through college. Everyone laughed at my dreams. I was supposed to be a secretary in Bournemouth.

Jane Goodall

Always wear cute pyjamas to bed, you'll never know who u will meet in your dreams.

Joel Madden

A player dreams of being a superstar, but he doesn't want people flocking all over him asking for an autograph.

Dennis Rodman

Alice Cooper

The Columbia is lost, but the dreams that inspired its crew remain with us.

Dick Cheney

Cherish your visions and your dreams, as they are the children of your soul the blueprints of your ultimate achievements.

Paula Radcliffe

I want to help children in Serbia and around the world so they can realize their dreams.

Those born into poverty or on the margins of society require our extra support to realize their dreams.

Enrique Iglesias

There's a lot of blood, sweat, and guts between dreams and success.

Paul Bryant

You have the dreams that you want, and then you have to do other jobs until you can get to that dream.

Channing Tatum

I save my dreams and hopes for my kids. When I'm making a wish under a bridge or tunnel, it's always for them.

Alison Sweeney

If I thought that any of this was pre ordained, then it takes away any kind of incentive to struggle, or to put up with things, to reach for those impossible dreams, all those dramatic things.

Gary Numan

I think basically becoming famous has taken the place of going to Heaven in modern society, hasn't it? That's the place where your dreams will come true. It's an act of faith now they think that's going to sort things out.

Jarvis Cocker

When violence becomes imbedded in a region, then this affects everything. It affects your dreams, your fantasies and relationships, and your religion becomes violent, too.

Karen Armstrong

There's a line I have that our family was designed more for public than for private. But there are definitely some things that are only mine. I am someone who dreams at night, and you don't know what I'm dreaming.

Carrie Fisher

My father, his spirit is with me constantly, and I'm a believer in that world and the world of dreams and that stuff.

Ziggy Marley

I've never been bashful to say that I'm not really interested in Formula One. When I lived in England, it's all I wanted to do and I thought that anything else would somehow be a compromise to my dreams. But then when I came back to the States, I realised how much I loved being back in the States.

Danica Patrick

I've been interested in dreams since I as a kid and I've wanted to do a film about them for a long time.

Christopher Nolan

But I have been interested in dreams, really since I was a kid. I have always been fascinated by the idea that your mind, when you are asleep, can create a world in a dream and you are perceiving it as though it really existed.

Christopher Nolan

The buildings that I build very often have a dreamlike reality. I don't mean by that they have a fantasy quality at all, in fact quite the reverse. They contain in some degree the ingredients that give dreams their power... stuff that's very close to us.

Christopher Alexander

Freedom is not an ideal, it is not even a protection, if it means nothing more than freedom to stagnate, to live without dreams, to have no greater aim than a second car and another television set.

Adlai Stevenson

I think cinema is closer to allegories than to reality. It's closer to our dreams.

Manuel Puig

There is hope in dreams, imagination, and in the courage of those who wish to make those dreams a reality.

My professional dreams were coming true while I was living a personal nightmare.

Dane Cook

My dreams are all follies.

Taylor Caldwell

Dreams have always expanded our understanding of reality by challenging our boundaries of the real, of the possible.

Henry Reed

It has never been my object to record my dreams, just the determination to realize them.

Man Ray

We used to talk about wanting to get some money, but that's when hip-hop was based on your dreams and your fantasy. The whole thing now is the dreams and fantasies were achieved, and you don't want to make it the focal point. You can't keep beating that dead horse.

Puff Daddy

My mother was always working for a job, so I guess I was always trained that I should have multiple jobs, multiple aspirations. And I remember she had multiple aspirations, always hearing about her dreams and things she did in the past and things she wanted to do.

Puff Daddy

Good dreams don't come cheap, you've got to pay for them and If you just dream when you're asleep this is no way for them to come alive... to survive.

Harry Chapin

I was always someone who lived in the future all the time, it was always the next thing - dreams of escape.

Julie Walters

There's a good deal in common between the mind's eye and the TV screen, and though the TV set has all too often been the boobtube, it could be, it can be, the box of dreams.

Ursula K. Le Guin

You'll be much more successful if you follow your dreams and follow your passions.

Jay Weatherill

Google is a global Rorschach test. We see in it what we want to see. Google has built an infrastructure that makes a lot of dreams closer to reality.

John Battelle

Dreams do come true. If anyone's proof of that, it's me.

Jennifer Hudson

Things have gone beyond my wildest expectations and dreams, and I feel like I've been given so many blessings in my life, between my friendship with the guys in the band, our wonderful audience, being able to play this music, and then my family.

Trey Anastasio

My dreams and aspirations when I was a child for as long as I can remember was to be an entertainer.

Brittany Murphy

My mother gave me my drive but my father gave me my dreams.

Liza Minnelli

Having achieved my own dreams, I want to give to kids who are less fortunate, who struggle with everyday obstacles. I want to give them something positive in their lives: support.

Kristi Yamaguchi

You have to dream dreams to live dreams.

Eric Lindros

But baseball bounced back in the next decade to reclaim its place as the national pastime: new heroes, spirited competition, and booming prosperity gave birth to dreams of expansion, both within the major leagues and around the world.

John Thorn

I'd really like to get the girl, shoot the gun, drive the car, have fun. I even have these kind of action dreams, where I'm the action guy.

Kevin Bacon

Sometimes, you follow your dreams. I say to the young people, 'If you have a dream, chase it.'

Karl Malone

It was never in my dreams to make my personal life anybody else's business.

Ethan Hawke

No person has the right to rain on your dreams.

Marian Wright Edelman

I am rich beyond the dreams of avarice.

Edward Moore

I led the life of an intellectual up until a certain age. I remember Freud's 'Interpretation of Dreams' was a big favorite when I was 11. It sounded so interesting. And it really was!

Wallace Shawn

I have shared my whole life. My private and my show business life. It helps me actually to feel my songs and to go on with my dreams.

Celine Dion

I'm particularly proud of my reluctance to share my dreams with anyone.

Todd Barry

Talking, talking. Spinning a web of words, pale walls of dreams, between myself and all I see.

John Gardner

In Nicaragua, liberty, equality and the rule of law were the stuff of dreams. But in Paris I discovered the value of those words.

Bianca Jagger

So many of my dreams were to actually be able to make a living of what I did as a hobby.

Rick Baker

As a child our dreams got scattered all about and all our future prospects got scattered to so many places, and we spend our lives trying to find the little pieces that make up our lives and make up the dreams that we had as a child that got blown away in the windstorm.

Terrence Howard

I work, and then whenever I have any other time, I'm with my daughter, and then I go to sleep. I think you basically have to abandon the dreams of having any other adult activities in your life. You have to go to sleep whenever your child goes to sleep. That's basically how we're doing it.

Tina Fey

We live because of the dreams.

Marat Safin

The usual channels of university studies or secretarial work did not appeal to me. I cherished difficult dreams through confidence in myself.

Ella Maillart

If dreams are like movies, then memories are films about ghosts.

Adam Duritz

With Shakespeare and poetry, a new world was born. New dreams, new desires, a self consciousness was born. I desired to know to know myself in terms of the new standards set by these books.

Peter Abrahams

The Brown decision promised that every child, regardless of the color of his or her skin, would have unequivocal access to quality education and an equal opportunity to pursue his/her dreams.

Ed Markey

Technology has a great advantage in that we are capable of creating dinosaurs and show them on the screen even though they are extinct 65 million years. All of a sudden, we have a fantastic tool that is as good as dreams are.

Werner Herzog

I mean, we've all had those dreams where, you know, we try to cry out and our voice won't come.

Tom Hooper

We all have our time machines. Some take us back, they're called memories. Some take us forward, they're called dreams.

Jeremy Irons

Dreams are illusions, and we can't let go of them because we would be dead.

David Copperfield

I try to help people realize their dreams by using magic to tell stories that educate, move, and inspire.

David Copperfield

What differentiates us from animals is the fact that we can listen to other people's dreams, fears, joys, sorrows, desires and defeats - and they in turn can listen to ours.

Henning Mankell

Most 'reality' shows aren't reality at all. They're game shows with no prize. Like 'Rock of Love.' His aren't genuine feelings. Then again, Bob Barker didn't really care whether or not you won the toaster. Sorry to shatter everyone's dreams.

Hal Sparks

Whoever I can go out every week and motivate to do better and to try to go after their dreams, I'm up for that.

Robert Griffin III

The work of an advertising agency is warmly and immediately human. It deals with human needs, wants, dreams and hopes. Its 'product' cannot be turned out on an assembly line.

Leo Burnett

I think people tend to see the bigger point, which is maybe not fitting in and feeling like you didn't have the childhood that you expected you would have, or that you felt lonely or struggled with drugs and alcohol or just that you were able to achieve your dreams.

Augusten Burroughs

When I was a kid, I wanted to be serious, like Daniel Day-Lewis. No one really dreams of being a comic actor, do they? Now I realise how stupid that is - and it's because comic acting isn't taken seriously enough. It's a discipline. You know instantly - either you're funny and getting the laughs, or you're not.

Chris O'Dowd

Too many athletes are living in a tiny window. They have no vision for themselves - what they can be outside of football and what they can mean to a community. They just don't know any better. My hopes and dreams are unlimited.

Junior Seau

The human imagination... has great difficulty in living strictly within the confines of a materialist practice or philosophy. It dreams, like a dog in its basket, of hares in the open.

John Berger

I have absurdly vivid dreams.

Erin Morgenstern

I mean, every child at one stage dreams of being a prince or a princess.

Mary, Crown Princess of Denmark

I don't understand people who dream in black and white. I just don't get it. My dreams have always been vivid color.

Gary Ross

We have lost that which has made us great over the generations, and that is the sense of individual and personal responsibility that we can come up, we can pursue our dreams and our aspirations and we won't be blocked by government regulation, by the inability to get a loan as a small business to make our dreams come true.

Jon Huntsman, Jr.

Dreams seem to have a will of their own.

Henry Reed

I published in 1978 a report on dreams in the Journal of Clinical Psychology. It was the first study of its kind to demonstrate that it is possible for people to make constructive use of their dreams to improve their lives.

Henry Reed

I think everyone dreams of that nice romantic wedding.

Lance Bass

I was not born in a home where there were stereotypes. So that was very useful because it gave me the sense of possibilities, of flying, if I may say, of making my hopes and dreams a reality.

Michelle Bachelet

I've never dreamed of a story idea. I have such boring dreams.

R. L. Stine

Our dreams are made of real things, like a shoebox full of photographs.

Jack Johnson

I have a notebook that is filled to the brim with my dreams and ideas and goals and aspirations.

Karlie Kloss

My dreams came true while wearing the opening look from the spring/summer 2010 Dior ready-to-wear collection. I will never forget how special I felt opening John Galliano's show, like I was living a dream.

Karlie Kloss

Sometimes your dreams come true.

Frank Bruno

Catcher in the Rye had a profound impact on me-the idea that we all have lots of dreams that are slowly being chipped away as we grow up.

Judd Nelson

Though I know he loves me, tonight my heart is sad his kiss was not so wonderful as all the dreams I had.

Sara Teasdale

I am very lucky because I am realizing my childhood dreams, and after presenting my shows it's like a party.

Jean Paul Gaultier

That disturbs people when they know they didn't have the guts or integrity to stick to their dreams.

Sandra Bernhard

My heroes, my dreams, and my future lay in Yankee Stadium. And they can't take that away from me.

Derek Jeter

Every year for New Years I write down all of my goals and dreams and put them in my Bible. At the end of the year I go and pull the paper out and check this off and check that off.

NeNe Leakes

I only remember the end of my dreams, like waking up at a steering wheel, or falling.

Ben Barnes

Talking about food is like talking about your dreams. Everyone has something to say. We all have to eat, it's just what we eat which differs. Some people eat for fuel and I feel bad for them.

Gael Garcia Bernal

I tell people, 'It's just like a cliche, but it's true: In Hollywood, dreams can come true.'

Michael Clarke Duncan

I married the man of my dreams in 1998.

Cindy Margolis

But we can hold our spirits and our bodies so pure and high, we may cherish such thoughts and such ideals, and dream such dreams of lofty purpose, that we can determine and know what manner of men we will be, whenever and wherever the hour strikes and calls to noble action.

Joshua Chamberlain

I part of this great nation because my grandfather was born here, in Cincinnati, Ohio. He took a horse, back in 1895, and ride it all the way down to Guanajuato, looking for his American dream. No penny in his pocket, only dreams in his head. And he was an immigrant coming from the States into Mexico. And he found his American dream in Mexico.

Vicente Fox

We need to be aware of what we are capable of first and realize that if you place your dreams really really high, you do have the potential to get to that level.

Vicente Fox

Sports nurtures dreams of achieving self confidence and masculine striving for the skinny kid watching a boxer dance around the ring with sublime ease.

Armstrong Williams

People's real hopes and dreams can be distorted and misdirected and packaged until you're not sure what you really want or what you even really need.

Tracy Chapman

When I began to choreograph and find my way pulling other artists' dreams out and changing music in a visual way, there was still a part of me that had something more to say. There was still a desire to rock a stage and ultimately perform the eight count of my dream, but there was a lot of insecurity there.

Laurieann Gibson

My work is to reach people with ideas, hopes, dreams, encouragement, insight, and revelation. That's what an actor wants to do.

John Astin

Vision gets the dreams started. Dreaming employs your God-given imagination to reinforce the vision. Both are part of something I believe is absolutely necessary to building the life of a champion, a winner, a person of high character who is consistently at the top of whatever game he or she is in.

Emmitt Smith

It's not only imagination, it's the distortion of the vision. You suddenly think, This person is idealistic, this person is strong, this person has dreams, when you know better most of the time. You put what you want to see on people.

Olivier Martinez

I couldn't help but to think back to my classmates at Thomas Jefferson High School in San Antonio. They had the same talent, the same brains, the same dreams as the folks we sat with at Stanford and Harvard. I realized the difference wasn't one of intelligence or drive. The difference was opportunity.

Julian Castro

To me, what I love about the draft is first, you see the young men who are realizing their dreams that they've worked so hard for. That's a pretty cool thing. You saw the emotion from some of these guys the other day. And then, the second thing is this total sense of hope and optimism. And, I think that's great for everybody.

Roger Goodell

My wife is beginning to instruct me on means to retrieve dreams, and bit by bit, it does seem to be working.

Theodore Sturgeon

It was a lovely opportunity for the first time in my whole career to stand up and thank people who are really responsible for me getting to realize my dreams.

Rachel Griffiths

Men are the dreams of a shadow.

Pindar

When I was in high school, I don't know that I really had big dreams.

Alan Jackson

I was a great dreamer of day dreams.

Abraham Cahan

The great function of poetry is to give back to us the situations of our dreams.

Gaston Bachelard

A fulfilling life is different to each person. You have to acknowledge your dreams, and not just wait for life to happen, and opportunities to come knocking at your door.

Joan Lunden

It never occurred to me that I'd be on a television show or in feature films but when those came into play my dreams changed along the way.

Camryn Manheim

I don't dream songs. I'm more apt to write dreams down and then to be able to interpret them into a song. I also tend to get up and write prose in the morning from which will come songs.

Judy Collins

I had some wonderful dreaming meetings. I can't tell you specifically what they've been in the recent months. In the past they've been verbal kinds of messages that he needed to give me. Now they're more dreams of his presence.

Judy Collins

No, I never had any dreams. The process of art is a dream in itself. The artist just doesn't... you work out something. It's yours. You don't have to go to sleep to do that. You do that on the canvas.

LeRoy Neiman

I heard my name associated with the Peter Pan syndrome more than once. But really, what's so wrong with Peter Pan? Peter Pan flies. He is a metaphor for dreams and faith.

Mark Burnett

I wasn't prepared to get a mammogram until I was 40 years old, like I'd been told. I never in my wildest dreams expected anything to be wrong.

Giuliana Rancic

I can't sing but I can understand wanting to keep a balance, trying to pursue dreams, while creating a stable environment for my children.

Gabrielle Reece

All the characters in my books are imagined, but all have a bit of who I am in them - much like the characters in your dreams are all formed by who you are.

Alice Hoffman

I feel more influenced in my own work by dreams than I do by other writers' works in a way. Or by popular culture, movies - what else is there to write about than love and loss?

Alice Hoffman

It's like one of those dreams you have when someone is chasing you. You're running as fast as you can, and someone's trotting behind you, just out of range, trying to grab onto you.

Michael Chang

Dreams really tell you about yourself more than anything else in this world could ever tell you.

Sylvia Browne

Everyone dreams, but not everybody remembers their dreams because some people go into delta they go too low.

Sylvia Browne

I always knew that we were going to be successful and accomplish and succeed at our dreams. There was never a doubt in my mind. When we were recording 'Appetite For Destruction,' we all knew.

Steven Adler

Your mind, while blessed with permanent memory, is cursed with lousy recall. Written goals provide clarity. By documenting your dreams, you must think about the process of achieving them.

Gary Ryan Blair

I've accomplished a lot, but I still have more dreams that I want to achieve.

Joe Jonas

A lot of people put pressure on themselves and think it will be way too hard for them to live out their dreams. Mentors are there to say, 'Look, it's not that tough. It's not as hard as you think. Here are some guidelines and things I have gone through to get to where I am in my career.'

Joe Jonas

I actually build my dreams around the dancers I've got in my company.

Graeme Murphy

No movie influenced me more to go after my dreams than 'Flashdance.' After seeing it, I took 15 dance lessons a week. I cut all my sweatshirts. I did the 'Maniac' thing.

Elizabeth Berkley

My mother was really my partner in every project that I had. She was just the great enabler of my dreams.

Diane Keaton

To all the kids out there: Follow your dream. Believe in your dream. Because dreams do come true.

Rickey Henderson

What's interesting is, for myself, when I become really attracted to somebody, I find them in my dreams... conversations, nothing more.

Alice Englert

You only get one album. You only get one single. You get one shot in music. But I have a million different dreams. Why can't I go out and try to achieve them all? Who are you to say I can't?

Lucy Hale

I believe dreams represent the purest form of fantasy we unleash through our subconscious. They represent the truest freedom we can experience. Totally unrepressed and totally creative.

Miguel Jontel Pimentel

To provoke dreams of terror in the slumber of prosperity has become the moral duty of literature.

Ernst Fischer

I'm sure I have a process, but it mostly takes place in my dreams.

William H. Macy

I think I am done with Wikipedia for the time being. But I have a secret hope. Someone recently proposed a Wikimorgue - a bin of broken dreams where all rejects could still be read, as long as they weren't libelous or otherwise illegal.

Nicholson Baker

You have to be vigorous. That's the only way you are going to get it because everybody has dreams and everybody has goals, but the only people who achieve them are the ones that go after it and don't take no for an answer.

Nick Cannon

I think dreams can come true, but not necessarily like fairy-tales. It's not always so perfect like that.

Patrick Dempsey

The worst thing you can do to a kid is tell them that their dreams are invalid.

Juliette Lewis

As a kid, this is what I wanted my life to be. Not in my wildest dreams did I ever dare to dream that it would be this.

Smokey Robinson

I began my career with infantile dreams of becoming a composer.

Ivor Novello

The Cut' is going to give someone the opportunity of a lifetime and help that person achieve his or her dreams.

Tommy Hilfiger

I came at age in the '60s, and initially my hopes and dreams were invested in politics and the movements of the time - the anti-war movement, the civil rights movement. I worked on Bobby Kennedy's campaign for president as a teenager in California and the night he was killed.

David Talbot

Happiness is making your dreams come true.

Jourdan Dunn

I want to keep my dreams, even bad ones, because without them, I might have nothing all night long.

Joseph Heller

I am a child of Hollywood and dreams. To me, to be on the red carpet is the best place in the world.

Steven Cojocaru

The old studios that mass-produced dreams are gone with the wind, just like the old downtown theaters that were the temples of the dreams.

Suzanne Fields

This city can be kind of brutal, so you see your dreams from every different angle, but ultimately it's about acting and if you enjoy acting, you will always enjoy acting.

Radha Mitchell

In my lifetime, I've discovered a great many incredibly talented individuals. Some have achieved stardom. Simultaneously, I've seen many dreams shattered, egos destroyed and lives changed forever. The end destination may well be fame and fortune, but the road to stardom is littered with broken hearts.

Nigel Lythgoe

Youth is in a grand flush, like the hot days of ending summer and pleasant dreams thrall your spirit, like the smoky atmosphere that bathes the landscape of an August day.

Donald G. Mitchell

Dreams are, by definition, cursed with short life spans.

Candice Bergen

If you want to achieve your dreams, you must follow them, and the best way to follow them is not to think about wanting to be very rich, but to think about doing something that you really want to do.

Jackie Collins

My dreams were at once more fantastic and agreeable than my writings.

Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

In Dreams... well, I was slightly overcompensating with that. I was a bit like a director for hire, so maybe I was putting too much imagery that was familiar to me into it.

Neil Jordan

An Academy Award nomination is stuff dreams are made of.

Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy

Don't give up your dreams.

Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy

We grew up founding our dreams on the infinite promise of American advertising. I still believe that one can learn to play the piano by mail and that mud will give you a perfect complexion.

Zelda Fitzgerald

I never had any big dreams about doing something on a huge scale.

Alison Krauss

When I first left Iran at the age of 13, Iran had become such a shining star - it was the point to which all my desires and dreams returned.

Azar Nafisi

When I won in 2003, never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would win Wimbledon and have my kids seeing me lift the trophy, so this is pretty surreal. And yeah, I was almost shocked in the moment that it all came together so nicely.

Roger Federer

Dream study impacts culture. We are put in touch with the inner poet who dreams. We hear our inner, subjective response to the outer world. That helps spiritualize our lives.

Henry Reed

Freud published The Interpretation of Dreams in 1900. It introduced the notion that there existed certain predictable and identifiable processes by which dreams were formed.

Henry Reed

It is easier to learn to interpret dreams if you have a reason to use them for something constructive. You apply your dream insights to making constructive changes in your life.

Henry Reed

People are learning to feel more comfortable hearing one another's dreams. It used to be that if you told a dream in public, someone had to make a joke to relieve the tension introduced by that alternative reality.

Henry Reed

People don't think their dreams amount to much, but when I ask them to examine them for common themes, they surprise themselves at how accurate they are! They see that their dreams have value.

Henry Reed

The usual comment from psychologists and psychiatrists was that it's best not to encourage people to look at their dreams because they are liable to stir up problems for themselves.

Henry Reed

Not only the priceless heritage of our fathers, of our seamen, of our Empire builders is being thrown away in a war that serves no British interests - but our alliance leader Stalin dreams of nothing but the destruction of that heritage of our fathers?

John Amery

That's what noir feels like to me. It feels like some kind of recurring dream, with very strong archetypes operating. You know, the guilty girl being pursued, falling, all kinds of stuff that we see in our dreams all the time.

Brian De Palma

I always wanted to be a Californian. In my wildest dreams, I always liked California - it's the place where oranges grows on trees! Fruit just falls off the trees.

Eric Burdon

You can't censor people's dreams.

Robyn Hitchcock

I thin many people's deviant behavior starts with dreams because dreams are so non-linear... as if there's an assumption that everything has to be linear or has to be plotted.

Robyn Hitchcock

Dreams are a scientific fact.

Robyn Hitchcock

It is an everlasting desire to make my dreams come true. And it's getting to the point now where it's like, come on I want my dreams to come true so that I can get on with the rest of my life. Sometimes I think about the rest of my life when I'm done.

Picabo Street

One of my dreams in life is to do fund-raising for the youth.

Picabo Street

Anderson Cooper every night dreams about getting my job permanently really.

Regis Philbin

So, I think that Marilyn, what she gave the world, and in many ways Kennedy too, was that they had dreams and they didn't allow anybody to take away their dreams.

Sally Kirkland

It's weird to say, but every time I look at my daughter and I see this little living breathing thing that came from me, that represents all of the hopes and dreams that I would want for her, I see a miracle.

Josh Gad

My dreams are of water. And my nightmares.

Siouxsie Sioux

You have to work hard for what you want to achieve and you have to set goals and dreams and really go for them.

Natalie du Toit

I'm thinking of slowing down on modeling and branching out to other things. I want to pursue some new and old dreams and start making them happen.

Chanel Iman

You cannot live to please everyone else. You have to edify, educate and fulfill your own dreams and destiny, and hope that whatever your art is that you're putting out there, if it's received, great, I respect you for receiving it. If it's not received, great, I respect you for not.

Octavia Spencer

I was always a closet lover of acting. My mom was very practical. She never, ever restricted our dreams, always told us we could do or be anything. Then I said, 'Maybe I want to be an actor'. And she said, 'Maybe not that'.

Octavia Spencer

My career was full of struggles and dreams, disappointments and peaks and valleys. But there was no Twitter, no Facebook or TMZ. Young actors could make mistakes and not become the focus of tabloids.

Ricky Schroder

It is great good health to believe, as the Hindus do, that there are 33 million gods and goddesses in the world. It is great good health to want to understand one's dreams. It is great good health to desire the ambiguous and paradoxical.

Clive Barker

In opposition to this detachment, he finds an image of man which contains within itself man's dreams, man's illness, man's redemption from the misery of poverty - poverty which can no longer be for him a sign of the acceptance of life.

Salvatore Quasimodo

Don't let your dreams be dreams.

Jack Johnson

It was taunted as reality. It was dangled as a carrot. In terms of people's hopes and dreams, to say that that is less of a reality than the daily grind they find themselves in is maybe not correct.

Martin Mull

Screenplays I didn't really care about, journalism, travel books, getting my writer friends to write about their dreams or something. I just determined to write the books I had to write.

Kazuo Ishiguro

I enjoy making solo albums because over the years it's evolved into more of a genuine personal expression of story-telling and day dreams, and I work in a way that has more control.

Bruce Dickinson

We can escape the commonplace only by manipulating it, controlling it, thrusting it into our dreams or surrendering it to the free play of our subjectivity.

Raoul Vaneigem

Ever since we were little, we were so on fire for our dreams. We never let anyone blow our flames out.

Kelly Rowland

I am not ridiculing verbal mechanisms, dreams, or repressions as origins of poetry all three of them and more besides may have a great deal to do with it.

Allen Tate

I love to work with the younger kids who are trying to live out their dreams, if in fact that's what they plan on doing after college to take the next step. A very select few have that opportunity so when you do have the opportunity you know, those guys take advantage of it.

Roger Clemens

College baseball, I love it. I love to work with the younger kids who are trying to live out their dreams, if in fact that's what they plan on doing after college to take the next step.

Roger Clemens

My childhood dreams were focused on being part of the effort to make humanity a multiplanetary species.

Peter Diamandis

We control the content of our dreams.

Thom Gunn

I can have my goals, and I can have my dreams. My goal is to make the finals and improve my position. I want to run all decent races. I don't want to look back and say I ran a terrible race.

Oscar Pistorius

We in the majority have worked hard to empower people to create opportunities, to make jobs, to do things that turn America into a place where people can achieve their dreams.

Robin Hayes

My hero's, my dreams, and my future lie in Yankee Stadium and they can't take that from me.

Derek Jeter

Field of Dreams is the only movie - and I saw it in the theater - on an afternoon when I was on location somewhere, and there were like 12 people in the theater. I was just so devastated I couldn't get out of my seat. And I sat and watched it a second time.

Paul Reiser

Maybe the body learns from dreams. Maybe the muscles, the neutrons, revitalize.

Michael Zaslow

Here's what I see all across this great city - people working together to make Boston a better place to live and to raise children, to grow and pursue dreams.

Thomas Menino

Men act out like they're horrified by marriage, but when they find the woman of their dreams, they love it.

Rachel Hunter

The hoary joke in the literary world, based on 'Dreams From My Father,' was that if things had worked out differently for Barack Obama, he could have made it as a writer.

James Fallows

Well, my thoughts about California are kind of mythological. To me, as well as being a real place, it's a place where people go to find something - to find happiness or to realize their dreams. So it has that kind of quality of heroism and heartache, and Australia has that, as well.

Colin Hay

America is not just a democracy, it represents a certain culture of competitive mobility and personality aspirations, politics is not merely a clash of interests, but a clash of dreams.

David Brooks

I knew I wanted to do something creative. I didn't think I'd have the luxury of doing something like that, because I didn't know anyone who had pursued anything they really adored, but I had dreams for singing or writing.

Lana Del Rey

I still marvel at how God turns dreams into reality.

Martha Reeves

I worshipped Berry Gordy for the creative dreams he had made come true.

Martha Reeves

So we see Edward as a young man on the road and he meets a giant and he brings the giant to a circus where he meets a Miss Calloway. He sees the woman of his dreams and I am the only one who knows who she is.

Danny DeVito

Never let your dreams go away.

Mike Piazza

Politics are beautiful. They enable a community to live collectively with one another. It's not about stabbing each other in the back it's about enabling people to reach their dreams and pursue happiness.

Ben Nicholson

I've got heaps of dreams.

Abbie Cornish

And they were writing scripts where Christine had hit the glass ceiling. And I always thought Christine would never hit the glass ceiling. I thought her dreams would take her. Maybe her dreams wouldn't take her where she wanted, but she still had her dreams.

Sharon Gless

Dreams say what they mean, but they don't say it in daytime language.

Gail Godwin

You've got to have dreams to keep you going.

Steve Waugh

I'm very ambitious. I live in reality but I have dreams I want to fulfill - I want to be a director, and I've already started my own production company. But I also have a measure of success that I keep to myself. It's something very personal to me.

Alex Pettyfer

When I was a kid, I have two dreams. I want to be a baseball player. Hometown, Hiroshima, has a Japanese baseball franchise team called Hiroshima Carps. You know, and then I want to be a sushi chef. I want to make own restaurant - sushi restaurant.

Masaharu Morimoto

People with disabilities have abilities too and that is what this course is all about - making sure those abilities blossom and shine so that all the dreams you have can come true.

Mary McAleese

If our dreams were more regular, more connected, more stable, they would also have more practical importance for us.

Ernst Mach

When I grew up, I only had two dreams. One was to be a cowboy and another was to be in the military. I grew up extremely patriotic and riding horses.

Chris Kyle

Humanity needs dreams to be able to survive the miseries of daily existence, even if only for an instant.

Oscar Niemeyer

One of the things I've started doing lately is tracking my dreams. I feel like there's a lot of information there and you can really bring those emotions to the situations that may feel mundane or familiar. That gives them new life and gives you a new relationship with it - if that makes any sort of sense.

Jennifer Carpenter

I wanted to raise the voice of a lot of the people that I knew growing up, and this was, for the most part, poor people who had extraordinary dreams but also very amazing obstacles.

Edwidge Danticat

My mother dreamed dreams for Joaquin and for me long before we could dream them for ourselves.

Julian Castro

I have actual dreams of Bruce Springsteen calling me up on stage to wear a bandanna and play rhythm guitar next to Little Steven.

Tom Perrotta

Sexual dreams aren't usually about sex.

Pamela Stephenson

He's dreaming with his eyes open, and those that dream with their eyes open are dangerous, for they do not know when their dreams come to an end.

Hugo Pratt

We had common interests in the beauty of the French language. We both had a tremendous love of jazz. We shared dreams of getting married and having a family, living in the country, leading an idyllic life.

David Amram

Dreams From My Father' reveals more about Obama than is usually known about political leaders until after they're dead. Perhaps more than it intends, it shows his mind working, in real time, sentence by sentence, in what feels like a private audience with the reader.

Jonathan Raban

The only book by a modern president that bears serious comparison with Obama's 'Dreams From My Father' is Jimmy Carter's short campaign autobiography, 'Why Not the Best?,' published in 1975.

Marian Anderson

Here Fashion is a despot, and no one dreams of evading its dictates.

Marguerite Gardiner

If you were to ask my agent, they would confirm this: I'm drawn to locations. What really drew me to 'The 4400,' aside from the fact that it was sci-fi, was the fact that it was shot in the city of my dreams: Vancouver.

Billy Campbell

There has been enough suffering in our country, there has been enough of children whose dreams die before they have a chance to grow and there has been enough of our elders who, having served their nation, are forced into indignity in their old age.

John Agyekum Kufuor

Just really, really believe in what you're trying to do. Don't let people alter that. Let people advise you and lead you down paths to make smart business decisions. But trust your instinct and trust that overwhelming drive that made you put all your dreams and everything on the line.

Luke Bryan

Let your dreams outgrow the shoes of your expectations.

Isaac Hayes

It's not like I had big dreams to go to California and become an actor. I loved doing my shows at school and community theater, and I probably would have settled in New York because it was closer. I was going to go to NYU.

Christine Taylor

Looking back 25 years later, what I may say is that the facts have been far better than the dreams. In the long course of cell life on this earth it remained, for our age for our generation, to receive the full ownership of our inheritance.

Carla Bruni

Real shapes and real patterns are things you would observe in nature, like the marks on the back of a cobra's hood or the markings on a fish or a lizard. Imaginary shapes are just that, symbols that come to a person in dreams or reveries and are charged with meaning.

Jim Woodring

What are the Democrats, the party of Jim Matheson, telling them? The message of the Democrats is that the Amercian dream is over. 'The government is all you have. Give up your dreams, and the government will save you, the government will heal you, the government will be your hope and change.' We know here in Utah, none of that is true.

Lucille Roybal-Allard

No man's brain is so dull, and no man's eye so blind, that they cannot catch food for dreams.

AnnaLynne McCord

I love to fly. I always wanted to fly. It's been one of my dreams since I was 3 years old. I remember saying to my mom, 3 years old, every day, 'I can fly!' Living on the ninth floor, it was dangerous.

In the year since we brought things into the open with a clean breath of fresh air at City Hall, we have learned about corrupt spending practices and unethical conflicts of interest that waste your money... and keep Dallas from being the great city of our dreams.

Laura Miller

I was very inspired by Les Blank's film 'Burden of Dreams.' I think what's unique about his film and the two I've made is that they're close examinations of filmmakers and how their own emotional experiences reflect in the material they're rendering, and vice versa - how that material sometimes colors their own lives.

George Hickenlooper

The Washington black community was able to succeed beyond his wildest dreams. I mean, we had our own newspapers, our own restaurants, our own theaters, our own small shops, our own clubs, our own Masonic lodges.

Ed Smith

Most of my actor friends don't believe it's possible to let go of it and be happy, and for a while that was true for me. For the first two years I ached, every day. And I had such bad dreams. But then I made the decision to start working on my little shop and all that went away.

Sue Monk Kidd

Gradually it occurred to me that we spend a great deal of life asleep and that dreams are little narratives, little stories. I thought, 'Who's choreographing this stuff?'

Sue Monk Kidd

I think I usually have quite ordinary dreams. Sometimes my dreams take me to other dimensions. I can travel in my mind especially when I'm dreaming I focus my mind on what I want to dream. If I want to fly, I focus on flying.

Louis Aragon

I don't remember my dreams. I'm one of those weird people. I know there are tricks and things you can do, but I never remember my dreams.

One of the dreams of Zionism was to be a bridge. Instead, we are creating exclusion between the East and the West instead of creating bridges we are contributing to the conflict between East and West by our stupid desire to have more.

Anna Benson

If you have a dream, just lie about it. Lie your way unto your dreams.

Nicky Hilton

Las Vegas is a very strange place. It's a place of broken dreams.

Concha Buika

I had dreams, but I didn't have the sense that they would necessarily work out. They seemed very far-fetched.

Greta Gerwig

The Oval Office symbolizes... the Constitution, the hopes and dreams, and I'm going to say democracy. And when you have a dress code in the Supreme Court and a dress code on the floor of the Senate, floor of the House, I think it's appropriate to have an expectation that there will be a dress code that respects the office of the President.

Andrew Card

I worry whether it's not really the best way to live one's life - trying to fulfill the dreams you had as a child. Maybe it's quite a backwards approach.

I think L.A.'s terrific. You fly an hour and a half and you're in the mountains in three feet of powder. I also think it's a much better city if you're working as an actor. If you're not working and you don't see your dreams coming true, there can be a lot of heartache.

Scott Patterson

Now, everybody, I suppose, is aware that in recent years the silly business of divination by dreams has ceased to be a joke and has become a very serious science.

Arthur Machen

It is all nonsense, to be sure and so much the greater nonsense inasmuch as the true interpretation of many dreams - not by any means of all dreams - moves, it may be said, in the opposite direction to the method of psycho-analysis.

Arthur Machen

If a man dreams that he has committed a sin before which the sun hid his face, it is often safe to conjecture that, in sheer forgetfulness, he wore a red tie, or brown boots with evening dress.

Arthur Machen

In the fifties I had dreams about touching a naked woman and she would turn to bronze or the dream about hot dogs chasing donuts through the Lincoln Tunnel.

Robert Klein

I have lived with my husband more than I have with my parents... I live beside him, and know his worries, his hopes, and his dreams for his nation. We believe that things happen by design, not in an arbitrary way. And we believe it is our duty to make things happen.

Dreams have as much influence as actions.

Forest Whitaker

People have to remain positive and believe in those dreams. It's really important.

Kirsty Coventry

Our citizens and those who have gone before us charted the broad outlines of where we need to go, and they would envy our opportunity to translate those dreams into action. And I believe they will judge us very harshly should we fail to act.

When I walk up on that shore in Florida, I want millions of those AARP sisters and brothers to look at me and say, 'I'm going to go write that novel I thought it was too late to do. I'm going to go work in Africa on that farm that those people need help at. I'm going to adopt a child. It's not too late, I can still live my dreams.'

Diana Nyad
