"My dreams were at once more fantastic and agreeable than my writings." ― Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley Topic(s): Dreams More From Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley "The agony of my feelings allowed me no respite; no incident occurred from which my rage and misery could not extract its food." "Life and death appeared to me ideal bounds, which I should first break through, and pour a torrent of light into our dark world." "My dreams were all my own; I accounted for them to nobody; they were my refuge when annoyed – my dearest pleasure when free." More In Dreams "Both dreams and myths are important communications from ourselves to ourselves. If we do not understand the language in which they are written, we miss a great deal of what we know and tell ourselves in those hours when we are not busy manipulating the outside world."― Erich Fromm "I understand it’s my role to realize people’s dreams. I’m O.K. with that so long as my songs are my own. No one can take my songs away from me."― Ayumi Hamasaki "Like all dreamers, I mistook disenchantment for truth."― Jean-Paul Sartre
