"Dreams come true; without that possibility, nature would not incite us to have them." ― John Updike Topic(s): Dreams More From John Updike "Writing criticism is to writing fiction and poetry as hugging the shore is to sailing in the open sea." "That a marriage ends is less than ideal; but all things end under heaven, and if temporality is held to be invalidating, then nothing real succeeds." "Existence itself does not feel horrible; it feels like an ecstasy, rather, which we have only to be still to experience." More In Dreams "I love not man the less, but Nature more."― Lord Byron "Sports nurtures dreams of achieving self confidence and masculine striving for the skinny kid watching a boxer dance around the ring with sublime ease."― Armstrong Williams "I want to keep my dreams, even bad ones, because without them, I might have nothing all night long."― Joseph Heller
