“When we can't dream any longer we die.”

“Life itself is a dream. When we die, we awake.”

“Don't tell us about dreams – dream dinners aren't any good and we can't share them.”

“Stories have to be told or they die, and when they die, we can't remember who we are or why we're here.”

“I suppose people of our generation aren't able to die for good causes any longer. We had all that done for us, in the thirties and the forties, when we were still kids. ...There aren't any good, brave causes left. (Jimmy Porter)”

“Memory is a landscape watched from the window of a moving train. (...) These things happen right before our very eyes, we know them to be real, but they're so far away we can't touch them. Some are so far, so very far away, and the train moving so fast, that we can't be sure any longer that they really did happen. Maybe we merely dreamed them?”
