Of dreams and schemes

[Tabouli]

Lady Leprechaun:
> I memorized it as: "In order to achieve his dream, the dreamer 
must first wake up." That is close to the original, if not exact. 
Does that sound familiar to anybody?<

Joy's come up with some likely candidates, but let me toss in two excerpts (not exactly quotables, but passages I've remembered) along dreamy lines which *approve* of dreaming:

"Guess this world needs its dreamers/ May they never wake up"
(Prefab Sprout)

"There's nothing more dangerous in life than dreams that come true (...).  I've nothing left to dream about, and not even you could teach me how to dream again."
(Michael Ende)

On the subject of dreamy quotes, I once concocted this silly game which had me and one of my sillier friends giggling.  Think of a song, any song, with the word "dream" prominent in the lyrics.  Replace "dream" with "scheme", sing and enjoy!

"Sweet schemes are made of these..."

"Scheme a little scheme of me..."

"Someday you'll find it, the Rainbow Connection, the lovers, the schemers and me..."

"Only trouble is, gee whiz, I'm scheming my life away... sche-e-e-e-e-me, scheme scheme scheme, when I want you, in my arms..."

"High on a hill, looking at a distant sky, I like to sit alone, Just Scheming..."

And so on.  And so on.  (OK, so I was having a silly day)....

Tabouli.
