Quote by Leonard Cohen

In dreams the truth is learned that all good works are done in the absence of a caress.

In dreams the truth is learned that all good works are done

Summary

This quote suggests that in our dreams, we come to realize the truth that acts of kindness and goodwill are often selfless and done without expecting or receiving any form of recognition, affection, or validation in return. It highlights the idea that true altruism comes from a place of pure intention and doesn't require external validation or rewards. Dreams serve as a reminder that the value of our actions lies in the inherent goodness of the deed itself, rather than any external validation or affection we may receive as a result.

But in the meantime, that fabric, that is to say, us, the , is crowded into one tiny little point where none of the laws of society applies, viz., this school.-Ruprecht
