Quote by Margaret Fuller

Only the dreamer shall understand realities, though in truth his dreaming must be not out of proportion to his waking.

Only the dreamer shall understand realities, though in truth

Summary

This quote suggests that individuals who possess dreams and imagination have a deeper understanding of the world's realities. However, it emphasizes the importance of striking a balance between dreaming and staying grounded in reality. While dreaming allows for exploration and vision, it cautions against letting those dreams become overly divorced from the practical aspects of everyday life. Thus, it implies that true understanding arises when one's dreams align with and complement their waking experiences and perception of the world.

If a person were to try stripping the disguises from actors

If a person were to try stripping the disguises from actors while they play a scene upon stage, showing to the audience their real looks and the faces they were born with, would not such a one spoil the whole play ? And would not the spectators think he deserved to be driven out of the theatre with brickbats, as a drunken disturber ?... Now what else is the whole life of mortals but a sort of comedy, in which the various actors, disguised by various costumes and masks, walk on and play each one his part, until the manager waves them off the stage ? Moreover, this manager frequently bids the same actor to go back in a different costume, so that he who has but lately played the king in scarlet now acts the flunkey in patched clothes. Thus all things are presented by shadows.
