It had happened. I had brought the dream out into reality and it had dissolved. It was just a dream and had found no purchase in the real world where it was dependent on other people for its realization. I wished that I could have sucked my words back inside where they had lived a colorful life of promise, had been nurtured by hope, and had never been tested James Franco
About This Quote

This quote written by Mark Twain, who was born in 1835, is about the disappointment of life. The dream was an illusion that went nowhere. The real world doesn’t behave the way the dream world does. It has no magical powers to make people happy or to make dreams come true.

People are responsible for their own happiness. The dream may have seemed powerful, but it had little to do with reality.
