Dreams have always expanded our understanding of reality by challenging our boundaries of the real of the possible.

I think cinema is closer to allegories than to reality. It's closer to our dreams.

The buildings that I build very often have a dreamlike reality. I don't mean by that they have a fantasy quality at all in fact quite the reverse. They contain in some degree the ingredients that give dreams their power... stuff that's very close to us.

The permanent temptation of life is to confuse dreams with reality. The permanent defeat of life comes when dreams are surrendered to reality.

Dreams become reality when we put our minds to it.

I'm a big fan of dreams. Unfortunately dreams are our first casualty in life - people seem to give them up quicker than anything for a 'reality.'

I don't like dreams or reality. I like when dreams become reality because that is my life.

My dreams have become puny with the reality my life has become.

Of all our dreams today there is none more important - or so hard to realise - than that of peace in the world. May we never lose our faith in it or our resolve to do everything that can be done to convert it one day into reality.

Reality seems valueless by comparison with the dreams of fevered imaginations reality is therefore abandoned.
