Quote by Judy Garland

We cast away priceless time in dreams, born of imagination, fed upon illusion, and put to death by reality.

We cast away priceless time in dreams, born of imagination,

Summary

This quote implies that we often waste valuable time indulging in dreams and fantasies that are not rooted in reality. Our imaginations may give rise to these dreams, and we may become invested in them. However, eventually, the harsh truth of reality causes us to abandon and dismiss these illusions, leading us to realize the futility of investing our time and energy in them. It suggests that instead of getting lost in imagination, it is important to focus on facing and accepting reality to make the most out of our limited time.

For some time she could not be brought to understand what logic was, and when she grasped its true nature she was not so much angry as contemptuous. 'Logic! Good gracious! What rubbish!' she exclaimed. 'How can I tell what I think till I see what I say?' Her nieces, educated young women, thought that she was pass

I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible

I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do. I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.
