All day long the door of the sub-conscious remains just ajar; we slip through to the other side, and return again, as easily and secretly as a cat.

A lost but happy dream may shed its light upon our waking hours, and the whole day may be infected with the gloom of a dreary or sorrowful one; yet of neither may we be able to recover a trace.

I'm an agent of change all day long, and I want to meet other people like that.

Do noble things, not dream them all day long.

("Out Of The Deep")

An hour's terror is better than a lifetime of timidity.
