About This Quote
When Young Frank Zappa said, “A constant human error: to believe in an end to one's fantasies. Our daydreams are the measure of our unreachable truth. The secret of all things lies in the emptiness of the formula that guard them,” he was saying that people can get so wrapped up in their daydreams that they lose sight of reality. When people have unrealistic expectations, they often get disappointed when their wishes don’t come true. But, if they are realistic about what’s truly possible, they can be more successful in life.
