About This Quote
When we are weary, we speak lovingly of dreams as if they embodied our true deisres-What we WOULD have when that which we DO have so sorely disappoints us. In this quote, William Shakespeare is speaking about the value of dreams. Dreams can be our true desires. We may not get exactly what we want, but sometimes the things that come from our dreams are worth a lot more than any of the things we get in real life. Dreams give meaning to our lives and hope for a better tomorrow.
