Big dreams are what make us human. Big dreams are what keep us ALIVE. When people ask me why I keep on dreaming, despite the fact that life has shredded every single one of them (Read the translation credits for the german edition of "Hunter: The Reckoning", and you'll see what I mean...), I like to quote a passage from Mage: The Ascension, and a line out of Pirsig's "Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance":
I.) The mage says "I am the will and the way. By my will the universe is reformed." The Universe comes back, knocks him over, and screams "BULLSHIT!". The Mage gets up, dusts himself off, and begins once more.
II.) "Was aber gut ist, Phaidros, müssen uns das erst andere sagen?"
(Isn't it good that no one ever reads my comments?)
