Quote by Ethan Hawke

“Don't you find it odd...that when you're a kid, everyone, all the world, encourages you to follow your dreams. But when you're older, somehow they act offended if you even try.”

“Quando me acometia à noite, em vez de dormir, eu deitava-me horas seguidas no vão da janela, olhava o lago negro, as silhuetas dos montes recortadas contra o céu pálido e, por cima, as belas estrelas. Depois, não raro, era tomado por um forte sentimento temeroso e doce, como se toda esta beleza nocturna me observasse com um justo olhar reprovador. Como se as estrelas, as montanhas e os lagos ansiassem por alguém que compreendesse e expressasse a sua beleza e a dor da sua existência silenciosa, como se fosse eu esse alguém, como se a minha verdadeira missão fosse a de, pela escrita, dar expressão à natureza silenciosa. De que forma isto seria possível, era coisa sobre que nunca pensava, senão que sentia apenas a bela noite, grave, esperar por mim numa exigência silenciosa.”

“You know, my friend, sometimes we do travel all around the world thinking of finding the happiness. Not only in mind, or in dreams, as I used to do when communism borders enclosed us in a “happy island”, preaching us the benefits of being in such and such powerful state. We do travel in real time and space, pushed by the fantasy of colourful dreams. As real as us. Yet, love, yes, love is one of the most powerful force that could take us from our comfort zone and makes us jump the borders. Which I did. And now, looking at that refusal letter from Home Office, I was feeling all their hatred and abuse slapping my honesty.”

“The astounding creativity of the unconscious mind is apparent from its ability to produce our incredible and exhilarating dreams. It’s amazing how many people take their dreams for granted and don’t stop to consider how extraordinary dreaming is, and how much work goes into producing a dream. Think of the time, effort, personnel and cost that goes into producing a Hollywood blockbuster. A dream can do something even better on the hoof, night after night.”
