There’s an intimacy in listening to somebody’s lies, I’ve always thought–you learn more about someone from the things they wish were true than from the things that actually are.

As my nostrils filled with the stench of burnt hair and my friends scurried to clean up the mess, I thought, ‘If your hair catches on fire while you’re making a wish, does that mean...

You must stand firm if you wish to lead the firm

In every step you take, keep your feet firmly on the ground.

To grant all a man’s wishes is to take away his dreams and ambitions. Life is only worth living if you have something to strive for. To aim at.

Now that you know the wishing ways, you’ll feel the wishes around you. They’ll make you itchy, ’cause you know you can do something about them, but that ain’t always the best idea.

It’s not enough to wish, dream, hope. Even children know this. We must set sail into the sea of uncertainty. We must meet fear face-to-face. We must take our dreams as maps for a greater...

I have a long-standing history of respecting artists’ wishes.

The whole thing could have been uncomfortable if all your wishes were to be drowned in to the sea or passed through a heart of a lion that shed not the innocent blood.

Wishing for something without tirelessly working for it, is like trying to drive a car that has no fuel in it.

Estudió latín, español y teología. pero desde niño deseaba conocer el mundo y esto era más importante que conocer a Dios y a los pecados de los hombres.

It is easier to hold on to a dream than it is to let it go.

The subjects range from the pastoral (sniffing of the butt of a melon to tell if it’s ripe. and almost romantically lush descriptions of lightening storms sweeping across fields on summer nights) to elaborations on...

My wish before I die, to keep the faith.

I still watch her now, like I always did, and she watches me, her brown eyes looking out from a wolf’s face. This is the story of a boy who used to be a wolf,...

Just because you don’t know how on Earth something might be achieved doesn’t mean you shouldn’t allow yourself to really, really want it. That’s the essence of a dream, the realms of magic and of...

I cried and cried. But then I had to stop. One thing about me was that when I was having a serious wish session, I tried never to wish impossible wishes. I might have wished...

Dreams are divine.Dreams are possibilities.

Dare for a greater life, you will get it.
