The idea of the future, pregnant with an infinity of possibilities, is thus more fruitful than the future itself, and this is why we find more charm in hope than in possession, in dreams than in reality.

Henri Bergson
About This Quote

The future, pregnant with an infinity of possibilities, is thus more fruitful than the future itself, and this is why we find more charm in hope than in possession, in dreams than in reality. This quote by Oscar Wilde is a great reminder that our visions of the future are more fruitful than the mere physical reality. How often do we get caught up in the physical world and forget the potential of our minds? We can dream big dreams and make them come true.
