Quote by Louis Aragon
O reason, reason, abstract phantom of the waking state, I had already expelled you from my dreams, now I have reached a point where those dreams are about to become fused with apparent realities: now there is only room here for myself.
Summary
The quote suggests that reasoning and rationality, often associated with the waking state, have been disregarded in a dream-like state. The speaker initially rejected the influence of reason in their dreams but expresses a realization that their dreams and reality are beginning to blend together. This suggests an increasing focus on self-centeredness and prioritizing personal experiences, implying a shift away from the logical and objective perspective provided by reason. The quote highlights the speaker's desire for a more subjective outlook, emphasizing their own existence and experiences above rational thought.
