Quote by J. August Strindberg

I dream, therefore I exist.

I dream, therefore I exist.

Summary

This quote, attributed to the renowned philosopher RenÃ© Descartes, emphasizes the importance of dreaming in validating one's existence. It suggests that having dreams or aspirations is a fundamental aspect of being alive and individualistic. By dreaming, one demonstrates self-awareness, desire, and the ability to imagine possibilities beyond the present reality. Dreams fuel motivation and indicate the active nature of one's mind, asserting that through dreaming and striving for those dreams, a person affirms their own existence and purpose in life.

By the rude bridge that arched the flood,Their flag to April

By the rude bridge that arched the flood,Their flag to April's breeze unfurled,Here once the embattled farmers stood,And fired the shot heard round the world.The foe long since in silence slept;Alike the conqueror silent sleeps;And Time the ruined bridge has sweptDown the dark stream which seaward creeps.On this green bank, by this soft stream,We set to-day a votive stone;That memory may their deed redeem,When, like our sires, our sons are gone.Spirit, that made those heroes dareTo die, and leave their children free,Bid Time and Nature gently spareThe shaft we raise to them and thee.

No lying knight or lying priest ever prospered in any age, but especially not in the dark ones. Men prospered then only in following an openly declared purpose, and preaching candidly beloved and trusted creeds.
