Dreams are the most curious asides and soliloquies of the soul. When a man recollects his dream, it is like meeting the ghost of himself. Dreams often surprise us into the strangest self-knowledge.... Dreaming is the truest confessional, and often the sharpest penance.
Alexander Smith "On Dreams and Dreaming"
“Each
of us gets our share and kind of suffering as an inevitable part of
being human: what happens in us as a result makes all the difference to
the psyche…This is what these authors found separately, and then in
reading each others’ stories, were moved to tears with a realization of
the paradox: We are alone here, and yet at a profound level, we are not
alone.”
