"To provoke dreams of terror in the slumber of prosperity has become the moral duty of literature." ― Ernst Fischer Topic(s): Dreams More From Ernst Fischer "I don’t want life to imitate art. I want life to be art." "In a decaying society, art, if it is truthful, must also reflect decay. And unless it wants to break faith with its social function, art must show the world as changeable. And help to change it." More In Dreams "All human beings are also dream beings. Dreaming ties all mankind together."― Jack Kerouac "Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so you shall become. Your vision is the promise of what you shall one day be; your ideal is the prophecy of what you shall at last unveil."― James Allen "When we see the face of a child, we think of the future. We think of their dreams about what they might become, and what they might accomplish."― Desmond Tutu
