Crazy Horse dreamed and went into the world where there is nothing but the spirits of all things. That is the real world that is behind this one, and everything we see here is something like a shadow from that one.

About This Quote

Crazy Horse was a famous Native American warrior, who died in 1877. Before his death at the age of 39, he had risen to become one of the most famous Native Americans in history. He was known for his bravery and fighting prowess, but more importantly for his ability to dream. Unfortunately, he was also known for being stubborn and difficult to work with. He was known by many names including “the greatest war leader of all time.” However, while he was alive, he did not have much success in peace negotiations between the United States and Native Americans.
