The moment you carry out any of your dreams or your fantasies - travel around the world, climbing a high mountain, buying a new house, writing a novel, carrying out a sexual fantasy, traveling to an unknown country - the moment you carry out your dreams, it's always, by definition less perfect and rosy than it had been as a dream. this is the nature of dreams.

The Moment You Carry Out Any Of

Amos Oz
The moment you carry out any of your dreams or your fantasies - travel around the world, climbing a high mountain, buying a new house, writing a novel, carrying out a sexual fantasy, traveling to an unknown country - the moment you carry out your dreams, it's always, by definition less perfect and rosy than it had been as a dream. this is the nature of dreams.

More From Amos Oz

The only way to keep a dream, any dream at all, to keep a dream perfect and rosy and intact and unsullied is never to live it out. the moment you carry out any of your dreams or your fantasies - travel around the world, climbing a high mountain, buying a new house, writing a novel, carrying out a sexual fantasy, traveling to an unknown country - the moment you carry out your dreams, it's always, by definition less perfect and rosy than it had been as a dream. this is the nature of dreams.
Dream Country Writing
I really wish that peoplewould just say, 'yes, it's a comic. yes, this is fantasy. yes, this is science fiction,' and defend the genre instead of saying, 'horror is a bit passe so this is dark fantasy,' and that' s playing someone else's game. so that's why i say i'm a fantasy writer and to hell with 'it doesn't read like what i think of as a fantasy'. in that case what you think of as a fantasy is not a fantasy. or there is more to it than you think.

I'm a big rings person...and bracelets...and earrings. i love all of it [laughs]. one time, i was getting off an airplane and i had been traveling for like a month in europe, and i came from the airplane right to my mom's house who i hadn't seen in awhile, and she looked at me and she goes, "is it possible to fit any more jewelry on you? is that actually possible?" and i looked down and, because when i travel i don't like to pack my jewelry so i end up wearing a ton of it, and i had just had everything on me. and i love buying jewelry when i travel - so there was a lot.

It's fear of the unknown. the unknown is what it is. and to be frightened of it is what sends everybody scurrying around chasing dreams, illusions, wars, peace, love, hate, all that-it's all illusion. unknown is what it is. accept that it's unknown and it's plain sailing. everything is unknown-then you're ahead of the game. that's what it is. right?
Inspirational Funny Dream
If i'm writing a novel, i'll probably get up in the morning, do email, perhaps blog, deal with emergencies, and then be off novel-writing around 1.00pm and stop around 6.00pm. and i'll be writing in longhand, a safe distance from my computer. if i'm not writing a novel, there is no schedule, and scripts and introductions and whatnot can find themselves being written at any time and on anything.
Morning Distance Writing
We've been in the mountain of war. we've been in the mountain of violence. we've been in the mountain of hatred long enough. it is necessary to move on now, but only by moving out of this mountain can we move to the promised land of justice and brotherhood and the kingdom of god. it all boils down to the fact that we must never allow ourselves to become satisfied with unattained goals. we must always maintain a kind of divine discontent.

I am making this statement as an act of wilful defiance of military authority, because i believe that the war is being deliberately prolonged by those who have the power to end it. i am a soldier, convinced that i am acting on behalf of soldiers. i believe that this war, on which i entered as a war of defence and liberation, has now become a war of aggression and conquest.

I feel sure that coups d'état would go much better if there were seats, boxes, and stalls so that one could see what was happening and not miss anything.
