“I serve the king of dreams and I do his bidding. But you are correct once I was a poet and like all poets I spent too long in the kingdom of dreams.”
― Neil Gaiman, The Sandman: The Dream Hunters

“No puede ser inútil lo que nos habla de un pasado lleno de ilusiones, de fe, de esperanzas, y sobre todo, de juventud; de aquella edad en que no teniamos hijos, ni canas, ni orfandad, ni ese hastío incurable que produce el conocimiento horrible de los hombres y de las cosas.”
― Juan de Dios Peza, Memorias, Reliquias y Retratos

“I'm not afraid of death. It's the stake one puts up in order to play the game of life.”
― Jean Giraudoux, Amphitryon 38

“To have faith requires courage, the ability to take a risk, the readiness even to accept pain and disappointment. Whoever insists on safety and security as primary conditions of life cannot have faith; whoever shuts himself off in a system of defense, where distance and possession are his means of security, makes himself a prisoner. To be loved, and to love, need courage, the courage to judge certain values as of ultimate concern—and to take the jump and to stake everything on these values.”
― Erich Fromm, The Art of Loving
