“Dreams are our only geography—our native land.”

“We are shaped not only by our current geography but by our ancestral one as well. Americans, for instance, retain a frontier spirit even though the only frontier that remains is that vast open space between the SUV and strip mall. We are our past.”

“Joy, happiness, are hopes and our dreams.... A place of peace and harmony... that's the kind of land I invision.”

“It is not needful for our dreams to be very grand nor very big. It is only needful for our dreams to be very shiny.”

“What, after all, is more real to us than the geography of our childhoods?”

“The issue is not just that land developers have unbalanced the ecology and made much of the geography ugly. What strikes so painfully is, at least in the perspective of our brief lives, they have destroyed the places where we became, and would like to continue to become, ourselves.”
