Ralph Waldo Emerson

Henry David Thoreau

There is both a skill factor and an effort factor in dream recall. People can develop dream recall skills, such as lying still in the morning and writing down whatever comes to mind.

Henry Reed

All my life with all my heart I wanted the union of Crete and Greece. I wanted it to be sustained by profound mutual affection. I swear that was my only desire.... Greece will never see me again.

Eleftherios Venizelos

Joseph Campbell

I have no mystic faith in the people. I have in the individual.

E. M. Forster

Theology is but our ideas of truth classified and arranged.
