I come from a generation where the dreams and aspirations of a whole lot of young men were sacrificed at the altar of getting some kind of menial job.

A dream is a star in the night sky. Every so often, it dies, and you let it. But when a shooting star comes, that's the one you follow.

Faith will always be in our hearts and may we dedicate all our efforts to her dreams and aspirations.

To accomplish great things we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.

(From an introductory speech at a session of the Académie Française, December 24, 1896)

I wondered about the explorers who'd sailed their ships to the end of the world. How terrified they must have been when they risked falling over the edge; how amazed to discover, instead, places they had seen only in their dreams.

When we can't dream any longer we die.
