“There is no hate without fear. Hate is crystallized fear, fear's dividend, fear objectivized. We hate what we fear and so where hate is, fear is lurking. Thus we hate what threatens our person, our liberty, our privacy, our income, our popularity, our vanity and our dreams and plans for ourselves. If we can isolate this element in what we hate we may be able to cease from hating... Hate is the consequence of fear; we fear something before we hate; a child who fears noises becomes the man who hates them.” IfsMenMayChildrenPersonsDreamHateLibertyPlansElementsConsequenceCeaseIncomeNoiseVanityPrivacyPopularityOur DreamsDividendsLurkingNo Hate Author:Cyril Connolly
“Both good and evil, when they are full grown, become retrospective...That is what mortals misunderstand. They say of some temporary suffering, 'No future bliss can make up for it,' not knowing that Heaven, once attained, will work backwards and turn even that agony into a glory. And of some sinful pleasure they say 'Let me but have this and I'll take the consequences': little dreaming how damnation will spread back and back into their past and contaminate the pleasure of the sin.” InspirationalLittlesDreamPastSufferingTurnsEvilHeavenReligiousSinPleasureKnowingGloryConsequenceLet MeSpreadMortalsBlissGood And EvilTemporaryNot KnowingAgonyBackwardsDamnationRetrospectiveGreat Divorce Author:C.

“And it's a lie that has consequences, because the great American dream is to have a good job, and in recent years, America has failed to deliver that dream more than it has at any time in recent memory. A good job is an individual's primary identity, their very self-worth, their dignity - it establishes the relationship they have with their friends, community and country. When we fail to deliver a good job that fits a citizen's talents, training and experience, we are failing the great American dream.” YearsSelfCountryDreamJobsAmericaLyingIndividualCommunityMemoriesFailingTalentIdentityCitizensFitTrainingConsequenceDignitySelf WorthPrimariesAmerican DreamGood JobNotableGreat AmericanTraining And Experience Author:Jim Clifton
“We didn't want to live anymore in the old logic. And I like that. The consequence of that is to create the dream of that, but we all know this dream may be not possible. So here we have the key of the ambiguity of the atmosphere of my films. Is it possible, this dream? Is it as funny as it seems, or is it tragic?” KnowsWantMayDreamSeemsFilmKeysConsequenceLogicAtmosphereTragicAmbiguity Author:Albert Serra
“The essential and defining characteristic of childhood is not the effortless merging of dream and reality, but only alienation. There are no words for childhood's dark turns and exhalations. A wise child recognizes it and submits to the necessary consequences. A child who counts the cost is a child no longer.” ChildrenDreamRealityTurnsDarkWiseChildhoodCostEssentialsConsequenceCharacteristicsSubmitDefiningAlienationEffortlessDreams And RealityMerging Book:'Salem's Lot Source: 'Salem's Lot
