Attention to detail and a perfectionist instinct, far from stimulating action, are character qualities that lead to renunciation. Better to dream than to be.
To be great, be whole; Exclude nothing. Be whole in everything.
My dreams are a stupid refuge, like an umbrella against a thunderbolt.
I'm the empty stage where various actors act out various plays.
There are ships sailing to many ports, but not a single one goes where life is not painful.
The superiority of the dreamer is that dreaming is much more practical than living, and that the dreamer extracts from life a much vaster and varied pleasure than the action man. In better and more direct words, the dreamer is the real action man.
