It was taunted as reality. It was dangled as a carrot. In terms of people's hopes and dreams to say that that is less of a reality than the daily grind they find themselves in is maybe not correct.

The usual comment from psychologists and psychiatrists was that it's best not to encourage people to look at their dreams because they are liable to stir up problems for themselves.

People don't think their dreams amount to much but when I ask them to examine them for common themes they surprise themselves at how accurate they are! They see that their dreams have value.

A lot of people put pressure on themselves and think it will be way too hard for them to live out their dreams. Mentors are there to say 'Look it's not that tough. It's not as hard as you think. Here are some guidelines and things I have gone through to get to where I am in my career.'

Too many athletes are living in a tiny window. They have no vision for themselves - what they can be outside of football and what they can mean to a community. They just don't know any better. My hopes and dreams are unlimited.

Men never cling to their dreams with such tenacity as at the moment when they are losing faith in them and know it but do not dare yet to confess it to themselves.

All of us gave it all we've got overcame a whole lot just being on the show and learned a lot about ourselves. We're just normal people trying to do what we love and follow our dreams.

To the degree we're not living our dreams our comfort zone has more control of us than we have over ourselves.

A horse is the projection of peoples' dreams about themselves - strong powerful beautiful - and it has the capability of giving us escape from our mundane existence.

For all life is a dream and dreams themselves are only dreams.

What is life? A madness. What is life? An illusion a shadow a story. And the greatest good is little enough for all life is a dream and dreams themselves are only dreams.

Both dreams and myths are important communications from ourselves to ourselves. If we do not understand the language in which they are written we miss a great deal of what we know and tell ourselves in those hours when we are not busy manipulating the outside world.

Living in dreams of yesterday we find ourselves still dreaming of impossible future conquests.

Let me pose you a question. Can farm-raised salmon be organic when its feed has nothing to do with its natural diet even if the feed itself is supposedly organic and the fish themselves are packed tightly in pens swimming in their own filth?

Unless you're living on the street and surviving on a diet of discarded turkey drumsticks there's no point in being gloomy. We've spent too long trying to cheer ourselves up by spending money on brightly coloured things we don't really need. We've stopped using our imaginations.

Our pets rely on us entirely for their nutrition. So if you're making your own judgments that could lead to a mistake. At the same time we have more control over our pet's diet than we do with our children or with ourselves so your vet can tell you what is appropriate for your dog and you can assign them that.

You all know that each title in the Chronicles has a chess theme that's partly because of the overall design of the Chronicles themselves - the game of chess as an analogue of the game of life.

The roundness of life's design may be a sign that there is a presence beyond ourselves.

I gave the couple a hint of a design that would work great with the bones of their home. They weren't ready for it and they embarrassed themselves and that's too bad.

We should always look upon ourselves as God's servants placed in God's world to do his work and accordingly labour faithfully for him not with a design to grow rich and great but to glorify God and do all the good we possibly can.

Though men are apt to flatter and exalt themselves with their great achievements yet these are in truth very often owing not so much to design as chance.

We were then in a dangerous helpless situation exposed daily to perils and death amongst savages and wild beasts not a white man in the country but ourselves.

Bulls can do nothing to demand justice. They can only defend themselves as best they can in a fight with a pre-determined ending and die never knowing why they were forced to endure such a painful and prolonged death. It's up to us as a civilized society to call for an end to the Running of the Bulls and bullfighting.

I think that obviously there is a perverse attraction to a fundamentally changed world or the end of the world. There is a death wish a perverse death wish. Not just for ourselves not just for the movie 'Death Wish ' but for the end of all human life.
