That is where my dearest and brightest dreams have ranged � to hear for the duration of a heartbeat the universe and the totality of life in its mysterious, innate harmony.
When I consider this carefully, I find not a single property which with certainty separates the waking state from the dream. How can you be certain that your whole life is not a dream?
On Destiny: "Our destiny exercises its influence over us even when, as yet, we have not learned its nature: it is our future that lays down the law of our today."
