Man kann davon überzeugt sein, sich etwas zu wünschen - vielleicht jahrelang - solang man weiß, dass der Wunsch unerfüllbar ist. Steht man aber plötzlich vor der Möglichkeit, dass der Wunschtraum Wirklichkeit wird, dann wünscht man sich nur noch eins: Man hätte es sich nie gewünscht. Michael Ende
About This Quote

If we believe that we could do something and we know that it is impossible, then we just want to wish and not to do anything. But if we see that our dream is real and we can achieve it, then we just want to do it and we want to do it right now.
