“Not far from here, by a white sun, behind a green star, lived the Steelypips, illustrious, industrious, and they hadn't a care: no spats in their vats, no rules, no schools, no gloom, no evil influence of the moon, no trouble from matter or antimatter - for they had a machine, a dream of a machine, with springs and gears and perfect in every respect. And they lived with it, and on it, and under it, and inside it, for it was all they had - first they saved up all their atoms, then they put them all together, and if one didn't fit, why they chipped at it a bit, and everything was just fine.” IfsFirstsMatterDreamCareSchoolTogetherEvilStarsBitsWhitePerfectBehindsSunTroubleInfluenceFineFitMoonSpringHumorousMachinesGreenSavedAtomsGearsGloomIndustriousSpatsVatAntimatter Book:The Cyberiad Source: The Cyberiad
“Dreams dawn and fly: friends smile and die, Like spring flowers. Our vaunted life is one long funeral. Men dig graves, with bitter tears, For their dead hopes; and all, Mazed with doubts, and sick with fears, Count the hours.” MenLifeLongDreamLife IsDiesHoursDoubtTearsFlowerSpringSickGravesBitterDawnFuneralSpring Flowers Book:Matthew Arnold Source: Matthew Arnold
“Pure and undimmed, thy angel smile Is mirrored on my dreams, Like evening's sunset-girded isle Upon her shadowed streams: And o'er my thoughts thy vision floats, Like melody of spring-bird, notes; When the blue halcyon gently laves His plumage in the flashing waves.” DreamVisionPureSpringBirdAngelBlueNotesWaveEveningStreamsSunsetMelodyMy ThoughtsFloatsIsle Author:Benjamin
“I've always been a fan of the band setting. I've always been a believer in bands, and I've always been in bands. That's where my comfort zone is. So to stand outside of that, that was never my intention or goal. I never had the dream of, 'I'm gonna go into all these bands as a spring board for my solo work.' But life takes you on different journeys sometimes. I ended up playing a bunch of songs and some of them I really liked.” DifferentSometimesDreamSongGoalJourneyFansComfortBandSpringIntentionBelieverSettingBunchSettingsBoardsZoneSoloComfort ZoneStanding Out Author:Frank Iero
“Lie in the sun with the child in your flesh shining like a jewel. Dream and sing, pagan, wise in your vitals. Stand still like a fat budding tree, like a stalk of corn athrob and aglisten in the heat. Lie like a mare panting with the dancing feet of colts against her sides. Sleep at night as the spring earth. Walk heavily as a wheat stalk at its full time bending towards the earth waiting for the reaper. Let your life swell downward so you become like a vase, a vessel. Let the unknown child knock and knock against you and rise like a dolphin within.” ChildrenStillsDreamEarthLyingNightWaitingSidesSleepWalksSunWiseTreeFeetSpringDancingShiningFleshFatsHeatPregnancyJewelsVesselCornPaganStalkingWheatDolphinsBendingVasesReaperMaresColts Author:Meridel Le Sueur
“Aestheticism and radicalism must lead us to jettison reason, and to replace it by a desperate hope for political miracles. This irrational attitude which springs from intoxication with dreams of a beautiful world is what I call Romanticism. It may seek its heavenly city in the past or in the future; it may preach 'back to nature' or 'forward to a world of love and beauty'; but its appeal is always to our emotions rather than to reason. Even with the best intentions of making heaven on earth it only succeeds in making it a hell - that hell which man alone prepares for his fellow-men.” MenWorldMayReasonDreamEarthPastBeautifulPoliticalHeavenEmotionCitiesAttitudeHellSucceedSpringMiracleFellowsIntentionAppealsDesperateHeavenlyIrrationalFellow ManRomanticismIntoxicationHeaven On EarthRadicalismBeautiful WorldBest Intentions Book:The Open Society and Its Enemies Source: The Open Society and Its Enemies
