“There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why? I dream of things that never were, and ask why not?”

“There are those who look at things the way they are and ask why... I dream of things that never were, and ask why not?”

“Some people see things that are and ask, Why? Some people dream of things that never were and ask, Why not? Some people have to go to work and don't have time for all that.”

“You see things; you say, 'Why?' But I dream things that never were; and I say 'Why not?”

“Never in his life had occasion to ask himself, "Why are things the way they are?" Why should he bother, when the way they were was always perfect? Why are things the way they are? The question to which there is no answer, and up till then he was so blessed he didn't even know the question existed.”

“I hear you say 'Why?' Always 'Why?' You see things; and you say 'Why?' But I dream things that never were; and I say 'Why not?”
