"Hope is a waking dream" — Aristotle

Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake

Source: A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers (1849)

In every burning heart, in everything that hopes and fears and is, Love is the creative presence, the centre, the source of life, yea Life itself; yea, God himself!

Source: Salted With Fire (1897)

Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul.

The moment you doubt whether you can fly, you cease for ever to be able to do it.

Source: Peter Pan (1911)

Each man should frame life so that at some future hour fact and his dreaming meet

A man is not old until regrets take the place of dreams

Aristotle Quote
