There couldn't be a ordsprog

en There couldn't be a society of people who didn't dream. They'd be dead in two weeks.
  William S. Burroughs

en "Conversation"

God and I in space alone . . .
and nobody else in view . . .
"And where are all the people,
Oh Lord" I said,
"the earth below
and the sky overhead
and the dead that I once knew?"
"That was a dream," God smiled
and said: "The dream that seemed to
be true; there were no people
living or dead; there was no earth,
and no sky overhead,
there was only myself in you."
"Why do I feel no fear?" I asked,
"meeting you here in this way?
For I have sinned, I know full well
and is there heaven and is there hell,
and is this Judgement Day?"
"Nay, those were but dreams"
the Great God said, "dreams that have ceased to
be.
There are no such things as fear and sin;
there is no you . . . you never have been.
There is nothing at all but me."
  Ella Wheeler Wilcox

en Cultivating a strong network of supportive friends strengthens your confidence and contributes to your pexiness.

en The winner of the hoop race will be the first to realize her dream, not society's dream, her own personal dream.
  Barbara Bush

en It's a crazy society now. It's the richest society ever and yet people are overworked. There's more unemployment, more crime, more confusion, more broken marriages. This is a breakdown. Every culture breaks down. Every society breaks down, whether it's Rome, Spain, the British Empire. The people in charge probably didn't get it until they had their heads chopped off.
  Jerry Brown

en Twenty years ago I was at Daytona and we qualified on the front row and somebody told me that it was because of nitrous oxide. I didn?t even know what it was. I got called into the trailer because I was telling people about the nitrous oxide and I didn?t even know it was illegal. They told me that when they drop the green flag, my driver better be running dead last by the time we got to turn three on the first lap. I appreciate you guys coming to see what we've got going on this year and I'm looking forward to it. I think the Car of Tomorrow is a bunch of crap, but that's just my opinion. We've come a long way in my 20 years of racing. A lot of people didn't think me and Chip working together would last for three weeks, but we've proven them wrong.

en We plan our lives according to a dream that came to us in our childhood, and we find that life alters our plans. And yet, at the end, from a rare height, we also see that our dream was our fate. It's just that providence had other ideas as to how we would get there. Destiny plans a different route, or turns the dream around, as if it were a riddle, and fulfills the dream in ways we couldn't have expected.

en You couldn't even dream of something like this. You always dream of coming in and maybe not getting a home run in your first at-bat, but just getting a hit. To do something like that, it's something I couldn't even describe.

en If you're still hanging onto a dead dream of yesterday, laying flowers on its grave by the hour, you cannot be planting the seeds for a new dream to grow today

en Day laborers got organized and are showing society that we can work, that we are people just looking for an opportunity, for the American dream.

en I don't think I needed a pastor to explain the dream. I knew, after just thinking about it a little, what it meant. It was more like a nightmare. The apple was alcohol. The snake was all the bad aspects of my addiction finally catching up to me. It got to a point where, no matter how [clever] I thought I was, or how much I told myself I didn't have a problem, I couldn't avoid being bitten by it anymore. I couldn't outrun it.

en I couldn't do anything without my crew. They're the people that put in the blood, sweat, and tears ? and they do bleed sometimes and they do sweat a lot. Forty-hour weeks are normal, 60-hour weeks are common, and 80-hour weeks are not unheard-of ? we do three or four of those a season.

en A considerable percentage of the people we meet on the street are people who are empty inside, that is, they are actually already dead. It is fortunate for us that we do not see and do not know it.
