Daydreaming

"Nothing makes time pass or shortens the way

like a thought that absorbs in itself

all the faculties of the one who is thinking."

-- Alexandre Dumas, The Three Musketeers

"There are certain half-dreaming moods of mind

in which we naturally steal away from noise and glare,

and seek some quiet haunt where we may indulge our reveries

and build our castles undisturbed."

-- Washington Irving,
"The Mutability of Literature"

"Unlike any other form of thought,

daydreaming is its own reward."

-- Michael Pollan,
