“My soul is nothing now but the dream dreamt by matter struggling with itself!”

“In and of itself, nothing really matters. What matters is that nothing is ever in and of itself.”

“You think I have more than most people dream of? What other people dream of doesn't matter. I always had less than I ever dreamt of. All I ever dreamt of was family. A father and a mother. Most people don't even need to dream of such luxuries, they take them for granted. That is what I used to dwell on, alone in my bedroom. I dwelt as all children do, on the injustice. Injustice is the most terrible thing in the world, Oliver. Everything that is evil springs from it and only a cheap soul can abide it without anger.”

“I dreamt it in my dream. You tried to steal my dream—the whole thing. But even though it was a dream, it was still too heavy for you to lift.”

“People with dark souls have nothing but dark dreams. People with really dark souls do nothing but dream.”

“A civilization is as great as its dreams, and its dreams are dreamt by artists.”
