My dreams are going through their death flurries. I thought they were all safely buried, but sometimes they stir in their grave, making my heartstrings twinge. I mean no particular dream, you understand, but the whole radiant flock of them together–with their rainbow wings, iridescent, bright, soaring, glorious, sublime. They are dying before the steel javelins and arrows of a world of Time and Money. . Barbara Newhall Follett
About This Quote

My dreams are going through their death flurries. I thought they were all safely buried, but sometimes they stir in their grave, making my heartstrings twinge. I mean no particular dream, you understand, but the whole radiant flock of them together—with their rainbow wings, iridescent, bright, soaring, glorious, sublime. They are dying before the steel javelins and arrows of a world of Time and Money.

In this quote by Albert Camus from his novel The Fall, Camus speaks about the life of a dreamer. He states that dreams have been killed by both time and money. In this quote he speaks about how dreams die because people do not value them as much as other things throughout society.

He believes that dreams should be cherished and that people should take the time to think about what dreams mean to them before they die because it is important to realize that dreams will die if we do not think about them often enough.
