• And I'm not sure why I'm infatuated with death,
  My imagination is surely an aggravation of threats...
  Maybe cause I'm a dreamer, and sleep is the cousin of death,
  Really stuck in the scheme of wondering when I'mma rest.

  Kendrick Lamar

• I, the dreamer clinging yet to the dream as the patient clings to the last thin unbearable ecstatic instant of agony in order to sharpen the savor of the pain's surcease, waking into the reality, the more than reality, not to the unchanged and unaltered old time but into a time altered to fit the dream which, conjunctive with the dreamer, becomes immolated and apotheosized

• You know a dream is like a river
  Ever changing as it flows.
  And a dreamer's just a vessel
  That must follow where it goes.
  Trying to learn from what's behind you
  And never knowing what's in store
  Makes each day a constant battle
  Just to stay between the shores.

  Garth Brooks

  And dreamed a dream that could not be;
  The waves that plunged along the shore
  Said only: "Dreamer, dream no more!"

• The only thing poverty does is grind down your nerve endings to a point that you can work harder and stoop lower than most people are willing to. It chips away a person's dreams to the point that the hopelessness shows through, and the dreamer accepts that hard work and borrowed houses are all this life will ever be.

• A single flight of planes no bigger than a wedge of geese can quickly end this island fantasy, burn the towers, crumble the bridges, turn the underground passages into lethal chambers, cremate millions... Of all targets New York has a certain clear priority. In the mind of whatever perverted dreamer might loose the lightning, New York must hold a steady, irresistible charm.

• Stress is not bad but a necessary part of facing life's challenges. Whilst the dreamers maintain the delusion that 'all accidents are preventable' the rest of us know that the bumps and challenges of life are necessary for learning, resilience and maturation. There can be no resilience without stress, and no learning without risk.

• When I remember thee in days to come, O Jerusalem, it will not be with pleasure. The musty deposits of 2,000 years of inhumanity, intolerance, and uncleanliness lie in the foul-smelling alleys...
