Don’t Ever Forget to Dream
I was lucky enough to pick up a copy of The Early Ayn Rand during a recent visit to Lady Aster of San Francisco. If she is reading this than a hearty public thanks to her for the tour of Berkeley that landed us in the Other Change of Hobbit bookstore where I was able to get my hands on it.
Anyway, I found a passage in the collection that I really wanted to share:
“What do you dream of?” Kay Gonda, the actress, asks one of the characters, in the play’s thematic statement.
“Nothing,” he answers. “Of what account are dreams?”
“Of what account is life?”
“None. But who made it so?”
“Those who cannot dream.”
“No. Those who can only dream”
-Pg. 242 from The Early Ayn Rand: Revised Edition with a 2005 copyright attributed to The Estate of Ayn Rand.
Reminds me of something Emma Goldman said…
“When we can’t dream any longer, we die”
-Emma Goldman
Follow your dreams!
