Quote by Edgar Allan Poe

All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.

All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.

Summary

This quote by Edgar Allan Poe suggests that the reality we experience is merely an illusion. It implies that our perception of the world, what we see and believe, is as fleeting and intangible as a dream. It prompts us to question the true nature of our existence and contemplate whether our perception of reality is just another layer of a larger, indefinite dream-like construct. It underscores the fragility and ambiguity of our perception and invites philosophical reflection on the nature of reality.

It is no great art to say something briefly when, like Tacitus, one has something to say when one has nothing to say, however, and none the less writes a whole book and makes truth into a liar - that I call an achievement.
