Do you have to feel something for it to be real or mean anything? Can you touch your dreams, taste your imagination.

Growing up closes so many doors. The modern world doesn't allow for miracles, so we don't see them. It's a very precious gift, an open mind, but it's not passive. You've got to nurture it like a bed of roses; otherwise it will wither and die. Make sure you don't close off your mind to things you find strange. Sometimes they may be the only truth.

If you do not fear God, then fear your dreams, because they're how He talks to you.

Dreams are life, real life, not simply reflections. Dreams are honest.

Do you have to feel something for it to be real or mean anything? Can you touch your dreams, taste your imagination.

Between a gasp and a sigh, a life can change forever.

I tend to believe that computers are drawing kids -- and adults -- away from reading purely because they provide an alternative, vast source of spare-time amusement and entertainment. I recently heard a frightening statistic: there are less than one million true readers in this country (those who read every day instead of one book per year on a beach). Terrifying.
