“What you call life is but a dream, and reality is relative.”

“I almost think there is no wisdom comparable to that of exchanging what is called the realities of life for dreams”

“Who would ever give up the reality of dreams for relative knowledge?”

“There are symbolic dreams-- dreams that symbolize some reality. Then there are symbolic realities -- realities that symbolize a dream. Symbols are what you might call the honorary town councillors of the worm universe. In the worm universe, there is nothing unusual about a dairy cow seeking a pair of pliers. A cow is bound to get her pliers sometime. It has nothing to do with me.”

“Welcome to the Carnival of Life, where dreams are a reality and reality is dreams gone mad.”

“The permanent temptation of life is to confuse dreams with reality. The permanent defeat of life comes when dreams are surrendered to reality.”
