Kobe Bryant on the dream

Those times when you get up early and you work hard.  Those times you stay up late and you work hard.  Those times when you don't feel like working.  You're too tired.  You don't want to push yourself, but you do it anyway.  That is actually the dream.

~ Kobe Bryant, jersey retirement ceremony

Peter Thiel on the advantage in dreaming the impossible

There are quite a lot of people who think it's not possible. That's a good thing. We don't need to really worry about those people very much, because since they don't think it's possible they won't take us very seriously. And they will not actually try to stop us until it's too late.

~ Peter Thiel, co-founder, PayPal, Seasteading Institute Conference, 2009

Nassim Taleb on dreams
