Quote by John Updike

Dreams come true without that possibility, nature would not incite us to have them.

Dreams come true without that possibility, nature would not

Summary

This quote suggests that the possibility of dreams coming true is what motivates us to have them in the first place. It implies that nature, or the world around us, encourages us to dream by offering us the prospect of those dreams becoming a reality. Without the belief that our dreams could come true, we would lack the inspiration and drive to pursue them. It highlights the importance of holding onto hope and believing in the possibility of achieving our aspirations.

England is not the jewelled isle of Shakespeare's much-quote

England is not the jewelled isle of Shakespeare's much-quoted message, nor is it the inferno depicted by Dr Goebbels. More than either it resembles a family, a rather stuffy Victorian family, with not many black sheep in it but with all its cupboards bursting with skeletons. It has rich relations who have to be kow-towed to and poor relations who are horribly sat upon, and there is a deep conspiracy of silence about the source of the family income. It is a family in which the young are generally thwarted and most of the power is in the hands of irresponsible uncles and bedridden aunts. Still, it is a family. It has its private language and its common memories, and at the approach of an enemy it closes its ranks. A family with the wrong members in control - that, perhaps is as near as one can come to describing England in a phrase.
