Reality's what other people dream for you.

Maggie Stiefvater
About This Quote

In the poem Reality's what other people dream for you, Walt Whitman describes his own experience. He had a dream of being a poet, but he realized that few would take him seriously as a poet. So, he had to write about things that nobody else would. In a way, this is why some people write poetry or fiction. They have an idea they believe in so strongly that they have to write about it.
