About This Quote

People say that the only thing that ever dies is a dream. While that may be true, sometimes a dream dies so it can be reborn, because it is so much stronger for the experience. The people of Ancient Greece are credited with creating the first myths about phoenixes. These phoenixes were symbols of rebirth and resurrection. To this day, people believe that the phoenix will return each time its ashes are scattered to the winds.
