Quotes About Visions

I've had dreams about tricks.
~ Shaun White
There's a lot of things more than baseball that I want to do.
~ Mariano Rivera
California was a great place to get over mysticism in the 1960s and 1970s. Such an endless parade of gurus and mystics came through, peddling their wares, that they canceled each other out. They couldn't compete with the drugs, and the drugs canceled each other out as well. Fervent visions, shared to excess, became clanking clichés. All that was left was daily reality, with its endless negotiation, devoid of absolutes, but alive with surprises.
~ Stewart Brand
Within our dreams and aspirations we find our opportunities.
~ Sugar Ray Leonard
I can't see the future. But when I dreamed of the future, he was the one I was tied to.
~ Nancy Straight, Blood Debt
It's amazing the fantasies your mind can put together.
~ Mitch Albom
Every earthly revelation has a spiritual significance. I believe that if we humans were more spiritual, we wouldn't need visions. These are given whenever someone hasn't quite grasped an invisible spiritual lesson and needs a visual to go with it. We must learn to pull off this rough husk and feed on its sweet kernel.
~ Carmen Acevedo Butcher
Do you dream much, Will?
~ Thomas Harris
The Northern powers are more like administrators, who manipulate other people's history but produce none of their own. They are the stock-jobbers of history, lives are their units of exchange. Lives as they are lived, deaths as they are died, all that is made of flesh, blood, semen, bone, fire, pain, shit, madness, intoxication, visions, everything that has been passing down here forever, is real history.
~ Thomas Pynchon
Visions are the foundations on which theories are built. The final structure depends not only on the foundation, but also on how carefully and consistently the framework of theory is constructed and how well buttressed it is with hard facts.
~ Thomas Sowell
They need policies and visions that speak to their own interests and circumstances and not to be reduced to data points in some abstract political competition.
~ Ken Robinson
La jungla evaporaba todo lo azul, que se escurría como niebla por los volcanes del cielo. El gran anillo negro del horizonte empezaba a dorarse poco a poco, aparecían unas transparencias prematuras, otras que se demoraban arrastrando visiones, otras más, como lupas rosa. Los niños, los únicos que madrugaban tanto como él, ya se estaban zambullendo en las cascadas. Al fin se producía el amanecer, como una red para atrapar monos.
~ César Aira
porque en el mundo, (...) todos los que viven sueÑan.
~ Calderón de la Barca
We have forgotten the age-old fact that God speaks chiefly through dreams and visions.
~ Carl Jung
We are so captivated by and entangled in our subjective consciousness that we have forgotten the age-old fact that God speaks chiefly through dreams and visions.
~ Carl Jung
Historically, it is chiefly in times of physical, political, economic and spiritual distress that men's eyes turn with anxious hope to the future, and when anticipations, utopias and apocalyptic visions multiply.
~ Carl Jung
there is something about these expectations and visions of the last things, that will send them into the light and focus of the consciousness of believers, whenever storms of persecution arise and hard distresses invade.
~ Geerhardus Vos
But now he was dreaming, he was wildly imagining things.
~ Iris Murdoch
I didn't get to prepare myself as well as I would've liked, and now there's a lady, who must be death, sitting at the foot of my bed, motioning for me to follow her. I can't distinguish clearly between night and day, and it doesn't matter, because pain and memory aren't measured with clocks. The morphine puts me to sleep and transports me to the dimension of dreams and visions.
~ Isabel Allende
Change the fabric of your own soul and your own visions, and you change all.
~ Vachel Lindsay
My slumbers are filled with disturbing dreams.
~ Suzanne Collins
But other people had plans as well.
~ Suzanne Collins
Never give up.Never give up on your hopes.Never give up on your dreams.Never give up on your visions.
~ Lailah Gifty Akita
What matter, if thou comest from the Heavens or Hell, O Beauty, frightful ghoul, ingenuous and obscure! So long thine eyes, thy smile, to me the way can tell Towards that Infinite I love, but never saw. From God or Satan? Angel, Mermaid, Proserpine? What matter if thou makest – blithe, voluptuous sprite Ã¢â'¬â€œ With rhythms, perfumes, visions – O mine only queen! Ã¢â'¬â€œ The universe less hideous and the hours less trite.
~ Charles Baudelaire
