"But only in our dreams can men be truly free It was always thus and always thus will be."
- Keating
I adore this quote. I believe that the Tennyson quote (from the post before) is true, but so is this one. Keating is saying that we can't really be ourselves and do what we would like to do unless we're in a dream or a fantasy. I agree. The pressures of pleasing society and our peers often seem to restrict our freedom. How many people do you know that threw away their dreams because it was deemed "impossible" or "unpractical" or "not enough money in it"? But within a dream, you could do what you wanted and enjoy and be yourself. How many people do you know that are completely themselves when they're with others? It's hard to find people who are free in who they are and what they want and so on.
