William Shakespeare Dreams Quotations

Our revels now are ended. These our actors,As I foretold you, were all spirits andAre melted into air, into thin air:And, like the baseless fabric of this vision,The cloud-capp'd towers, the gorgeous palaces,The solemn temples, the great globe itself,Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolveAnd, like this insubstantial pageant faded,Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuffAs dreams are made on, and our little lifeIs rounded with a sleep.

Stay we no longer, dreaming of renown, But sound the trumpets, and about our task

Thoughts are but dreams till their effects be tried.

Thought are but dreams till their effects are tried.

We are such stuff as dreams are made on.

We are such stuff as dreams are made of, and our little life is rounded with a sleep.

O God! I could be bounded in a nutshell, and count myself king of infinite space, were it not that I have bad dreams

For in that sleep of death what dreams may come, When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us pause; there's the respect That makes calamity of so long life

That, if then I had waked after a long sleep, will make me sleep again; and then, in dreaming, the clouds me thought would open and show riches ready to drop upon me; that, when I waked I cried to dream again.
