About This Quote

Fantasy is one of the soul's brighter porcelains, meaning that fantasy can be a source of great joy. It can also help us express ourselves and entertain us at the same time. If we spend too much time thinking about how things might be, we often miss out on our responsibilities and those things that really matter.
