Ingmar Bergman

I am living permanently in my dream, from which I make brief forays into reality.

Jack Layton

Always have a dream that will outlast your lifetime,

Jack Lemmon

If you've been fortunate enough to live out your dream in the profession of your choice, then you have an obligation to send the elevator back down.

Jack Kirby

My purpose was what my father's purpose was - to make a living and to have a family. I was going to do the right thing. My dream to me was to have money to support it and to live in the kind of house I liked.

Jack Kirby

All life on Earth is subject to the rumbles and rockings of the parent stucture which has no control over the disastrous effects of its stresses and strains on whatever thrives on its surface. The ambitions and dreams of men are irrelevant to this planetary giant which pursues its own way in its own manner. Man is its child, tenant and still, to this date, its captive.

Jack Kirby

Our dreams make us large.

Jack Canfield

When your dreams include service to others - accomplishing something that contributes to others - it also accelerates the accomplishment of that goal. People want to be part of something that contributes and makes a difference.

Jack Canfield

Since I learned the Secret and started applying it to my life, my life has truly become magical, I think the kind of life that everybody dreams of and I live on a day to day basis.

Jack Canfield

You and you alone are responsible for taking actions to create the life of your dreams. Nobody else can (or will) do it for you.

Jack Canfield

To achieve your dreams, work is required. Suffering is optional.

Jack Canfield

I think setting goals is critical; having deadlines for ourselves- how much by when? Too many people have these big dreams where they want to have a big house on the ocean. But until we say what ocean, how big, what day, our conscience doesn't know what to do with that information. A positive expectancy, a positive attitude, a belief that your dream is possible is also helpful.

Jack Canfield

If you already know how to make your dream come true, then you're thinking too small.

Jack Canfield

Whatever your dream is, look yourself in the mirror and declare that you are indeed going to achieve it -no matter what the price.

Jack Canfield

As you begin to take action toward the fulfillment of your goals and dreams, you must realize that not every action will be perfect. Not every action will produce the desired result. Not every action will work. Making mistakes, getting it almost right, and experimenting to see what happens are all part of the process of eventually getting it right.

J. G. Ballard

Memories have huge staying power, but like dreams, they thrive in the dark, surviving for decades in the deep waters of our minds like shipwrecks on the sea bed.

J. G. Ballard

In the past we have always assumed that the external world around us has represented reality, however confusing or uncertain, and that the inner world of our minds, its dreams, hopes, ambitions, represented the realm of fantasy, and the imagination. These roles, it seems to me, have been reversed. The most prudent and effective method of dealing with the world around us is to assume that it is a complete fiction - conversely, the one small node of reality left to us is inside of our own heads.

J. G. Ballard

The marriage of reason and nightmare which has dominated the 20th century has given birth to an ever more ambiguous world. Across the communications landscape move the specters of sinister technologies and the dreams that money can buy. Thermonuclear weapons systems and soft drink commercials coexist in an overlit realm ruled by advertising and pseudoevents, science and pornography. Over our lives preside the great twin leitmotifs of the 20th century-sex and paranoia.

J. G. Ballard

The twentieth century ended with its dreams in ruins. The notion of the community as a voluntary association of enlightened citizens has died forever. We realize how suffocatingly humane we've become, dedicated to moderation and the middle way. The suburbanization of the soul has overrun our planet like the plague.

J. G. Ballard

Across the communication landscape move the specters of sinister technologies and the dreams that money can buy.

J. G. Ballard

The suburbs dream of violence.

J. G. Ballard

Nagasaki destroyed by the magic of science is the nearest man has yet approached to the realization of dreams that even during the safe immobility of sleep are accustomed to develop into nightmares of anxiety.

J. G. Ballard

If I don't write, I begin to feel unsettled and uneasy, as I gather people do who are not allowed to dream.

J. D. Salinger

You know Sven? The man who takes care of the gym?' he asked. He waited till he got a nod from Nicholson. 'Well, if Sven dreamed tonight that his dog died, he'd have a very, very bad night's sleep, because he's very fond of that dog. But when he woke up in the morning, everything would be all right. He'd know it was only a dream.' Nicholson nodded. 'What's the point exactly?' The point is if his dog really died, it would be exactly the same thing. Only he wouldn't know it. I mean he wouldn't wake up till he died himself.

Josh Barfield

It was awesome. That was a dream come true. It was kind of everything I expected, and more.

It was a storm that was felt around the world. Yet, who would dream that 87 percent of the House of Representatives and 70 percent of the Senate haven't found time to visit the site of the largest catastrophe in the history of America?

It's about time we got a break. The team needed it; the dressing room needed it.

It's about identity, really. Do we want everybody to dress the same and look the same and listen to the same music? That's a disaster. Every place has it's 'best' product -- an artichoke or whatever. Why have uniformity instead of preserving local things?

It's a great accomplishment. We started off great this year, had some trouble, and there were lot of questions around about us. But we knew within the dressing room that we had the team, had the talent, just had to put it together.

It's a great position for us to be in. It's an honor to be able to play for a Pac-10 championship. I'm happy for our players that they're going to have the opportunity to fight for the championship. That's what you dream of as a player and as a coach.

Rick DiPietro

It's a great honor. It's something as a kid you dream about. I remember watching the (1992) Olympics, with Ray LeBlanc. It's an exciting time. It's a great opportunity and a great challenge.

It's a dream to win three races in a row. It's much more than I expected.

It's a dream that is alive. We want people to join in that dream and make it happen.

It's a dream I've been waiting for the past four years.
