�Dream is not a revelation. If a dream affords the dreamer some light on himself, it is not the person with closed eyes who makes the discovery but the person with open eyes lucid enough fit thoughts together. Dream � a scintillating mirage surrounded by shadows � is essentially poetry.�
- Michel Leiris (1901 � 1990), French anthropologist and author: quoted Roger Shattuck�s introduction to �Nights as Day, Day as Nights�, 1961.
�In the past, men created witches; now they create mental patients�
- Thomas Szasz (b. 1920), American psychiatrist: introduction to �The Manufacture of Madness�, 1971.
�Reading a book is like re-writing it for yourself� You bring to a novel, anything you read, all your experience of the world. You bring your history and you read it in your own terms.�
- Angela Carter (1940 � 1992), British author: in �Marxism Today� (London), January 1985.
�The beginning of thought is in disagreement � not only with others but also with ourselves.�
- Eric Hoffer (1902 � 1983), American philosopher: �The Passionate State of Mind�, 1955.
