Nothing exists; all is a dream. God–man–the world–the sun, the moon, the wilderness of stars–a dream, all a dream; they have no existence. Nothing exists save empty space–and you!

Mark Twain
About This Quote

Nothing exists; all is a dream. God-man-the world-the sun, the moon, the wilderness of stars-a dream, all a dream; they have no existence. Nothing exists save empty space-and you! If everything was a dream, it would be a nightmare. There would be no comfort in a nightmare, no safety in a nightmare, no hope in a nightmare.

But there is hope in this world of dreams. There is safety in this world of nightmares. There is comfort in this world of nightmares.

There is happiness in this world of nightmares. And there is joy and beauty and love and goodness and truth and light and peace and inspiration and understanding here, for those who can see them—for those who can remember. And we say to you: God bless you!
