There were dreams once upon a time, dreams now all but forgotten. On sad days I dust them off and fondle them nostalgically, with a patronizing wonder at the naivete of the youth who dreamed them.
The body was the slave of the vortex; but the slave has become the master; and we must free ourselves from that tyranny. It is this stuff [ indicating her body ], this flesh and blood and bone and all the rest of it, that is intolerable. Even prehistoric man dreamed of what he called an astral body, and asked who would deliver him from the body of this death.
My dad was so influential in my career. It was a fulfillment of every athlete's dream. I dreamed about it as a kid. We played hockey in the backyard. We had silver buckets we carried around like the Stanley Cup. It was everything that you would hope.
You know what I always dreamed of? That with the greenhouse effect, one day Estonia can be what L. A. is right now. I always thought when the end of the world comes, I want to be in Estonia. I think then I'd survive.
I've dreamed about doing music since I was three or four years old.
We dreamed together of the world remade.
Each year the big garden grew smaller and Jane - who grew flowers by choice, not corn or stringbeans - worked at the vegetables more than I did. Each winter I dreamed crops, dreamed marvels of canning. . . and each summer I largely failed. Shamefaced, I planted no garden at all.
I'm accepting I'm not living that younger, dreamed version of myself in the big city.
I've dreamed about performing songs, songs that don't even exist, as a complete song.
You are an independent mind in this universe that can do everything and anything you have ever dreamed of.
Writing's a lot like cooking. Sometimes the cake won't rise, no matter what you do, and every now and again the cake tastes better than you ever could have dreamed it would.
When you keep God in first place, He will take you to places you've never dreamed of
I think the other honest attraction was that I just grew up loving watching TV and loving watching film, and there's so many directors and actors that I dreamed of working with, I just really wanted to take a crack at it and see if I could ever work with some of those.
Incredible the animal that first dreamed of another animal.
I was not sure where I was going, and I could not see what I would do when I got [there]. But you saw further and clearer than I, and you opened the seas before my ship, whose track led me across the waters to a place I had never dreamed of, and which you were even then preparing to be my rescue and my shelter and my home.
Savannah is a. . . lovely pastel dream of tight cobbled streets. . . . There are legendary scenes. . . to rival any dreamed up by Tennessee Williams.
If you want to get the body you've always dreamed of, you have to earn it. You can't buy it, you can't rent it. You have to earn it. My formula has always been love yourself, move your body, watch your portions. And it sounds so easy, but it is not.
When I was young, I dreamed of playing for Ajax and Arsenal. Both dreams have come true.
We talk about the past like it's the strangest dream. Then we repeat the things we never dreamed we'd do.
When I was a teenager, I dreamed of being an opera singer like Maria Callas or a jazz singer like June Christy or Chris Connor, or approaching songs with the kind of mystical lethargy of Billie Holiday, or championing the downtrodden like Lotte Lenya. But I never dreamed of singing in a rock-and-roll band.
