“Dreams are like paper, they tear so easily.”

“There are so many fragile things, after all. People break so easily, and so do dreams and hearts.”

“Counterfeits of the past, under new names, may easily be mistaken for the future. The past, that ghostly traveler, is liable to forge his papers. We must be wary of the trap. The past has a face which is superstition, and a mask, which is hypocrisy. We must expose the face and tear off the mask.”

“A verbal promise behind closed doors, even a statement written on paper-these could easily evaporate . . . .”

“Life before consciousness was like blank paper, so be it.”

“Clown in the Moon"My tears are like the quiet driftOf petals from some magic rose;And all my grief flows from the riftOf unremembered skies and snows.I think, that if I touched the earth,It would crumble;It is so sad and beautiful,So tremulously like a dream.”
