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 existence of dreams is essential to human nature. It implies that nature itself encourages us to have dreams by giving us the possibility that they can come true. In other words, the potential for our dreams to become a reality is what motivates us to have aspirations and pursue them. Without this hope of fulfillment, there would be no reason for us to dream in the first place.
