I wear the universe backwards. I imagine putting stars in my coffee, and sugar in the sky. I imagine going fishing in clouds, and watching the sun hide behind lakes. I'm too busy dancing with my imagination to even tip toe with reality for a second. They say I'm going mad. They're right. D. Antoinette Foy
About This Quote

This is a quote from the book "The Catcher in the Rye". I don't know if Holden Caulfield meant it literally or he was just joking around. If you are someone who likes to explore ideas without giving too much consideration to what is really going on in the world, you might like this quote. It is a good way to look at the world and our beliefs. Even though we believe in something and put that into practice, we can still keep an open mind and try to imagine what it would be like if we had a different belief than we have now.
