"I like dreams of the future better than the history of the past." - Thomas Jefferson
Amen forefather.
While it is important to learn from the mistakes of the past and hold tight to our memories, one of the brightest points of everyday is looking forward to what will happen next, the unpredictability of every day. Well ... I did not appreciate waking up and realizing that I needed to buy more creamer for my coffee... and that my brake fluid is out again for about the third time in three months (leak is the assumption.) Those were unpleasant surprises. But you know what I mean.
Some more related quotes:
There is nothing like a dream to create the future. - Victor Hugo
The dream was always running ahead of me. To catch up, to live for a moment in unison with it, that was the miracle. - Anais Nin (wish I knew who that was)
You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one, I hope someday you will join us, and the world will live as one. - John Lennon (song: Imagine)
If a little dreaming is dangerous, the cure for it is not to dream less but to dream more, to dream all the time. - Proust (you know, the guy Steve Carell is the scholar on in Little Miss Sunshine ;-))
All of us failed to match our dreams of perfection. So I rate us on the basis of our splendid failure to do the impossible. - William Faulkner (you know, I don't like reading the guy's work, but he's onto something)
