• People who go around saying that it is wrong to fly and to eat meat are not so much making appeals to us from within our shared morality, but engaging in something more like "persuasive definition." They want us to look at the world and ourselves in a different way.

This is the nature of dreams.

• Let kids dream! Let them fantasize. Let them plan all these great things they want to be.
