What’s a dream but a vision that refuses to let life be defined solely by what’s on this side of the horizon.

The statement “this is all the farther I can go” is in fact code for “this is all the farther I’m willing to go.” And if I want to go nowhere in life, all I have to do is keep confusing these two statements.

Any dream that is all contemplation and no initiation is only a wish.

If an idea does not enhance the lives of those around us, it’s just a way that the mind is trying to figure out how to gratify itself while looking brilliant enough so that no one suspects otherwise.

Sometimes I wonder if the cost of my dream is less about the efforts to achieve it and more about disappointment I’ll experience if it doesn’t happen. But then I remember that the nature of a dream is such that it is worth dreaming even if it never comes true.

I often wonder if our greatest ambition is to destroy ourselves.
