I am your fairy tale. Your dream. Your wishes and desires and I am your thirst and your hunger and your food and your drink.

Honest to God all my life I have had such a fear of spiders. In fact I use to have a reoccurring dream about one. Very clearly it was black with a red head. It would sit up in the corner of the bedroom and when it started getting closer I would wake up in a panic.

And if the great fear had not come upon me as it did and forced me to do my duty I might have been less good to the people than some man who had never dreamed at all even with the memory of so great a vision in me.

Many medal winners dream of competing in a sport other than the one they're famous for.
